Re: Pocket Pistols in 9mm - Good Idea, or Bad?

insightful thread. I recently bought a 9mm PX4SC, and it is pretty big when compared with some of the other guns mentioned. Its worth mentioning that there is no pain involved in shooting it though. It's actually fun to shoot.

I wonder though just how much energy isn't utilized in these short barrels. Are we losing enough power that the high tech bullets might not expand as designed. I don't believe the ballistics will be the same as from the same ammo shot from a P92 with its 4.9 inch barrel.

The PX4SC for Comparison with TAM's SpreadSheet:
Cal 9mm
Capacity 13 +1 with Spare Mag 13
Barrel 3.0 in
length O/A 6.2 in
Width at controls (The Safety bulges out) 1.4 inch
Weight unloaded w mag 26.1
