True...but sometimes, like Arroyo's ex-wife and kid, you don't get get a choice in the matter.yerasimos wrote:Armed with only a pistol, I would not want to engage a wanna-be "martyr" or Arroyo-type bad guy any other way. (Better yet, get uniformed police officers or other good guys with rifles to drop him. A man has to know his limitations, remember?)

Could vary with your technique. I would stagger the JHP's and FMJ's and always shoot pairs of shots. You may not discover they have armor until too late.Scott Murray wrote:Say Paladin,
If I decide I want to be ready to deal with an Arroyo Sr situation, and keep the 357 Sig for its potential against armor, what strategy would you recommend. I have a carrier for two spare mags:
1) Load all FMJ's. While not optimum for a non armored threat, they'd be good enough.
2) Load alternating rounds of FMJ and JHP. Would you recommend any particular pattern?
3) Load JHP's but have one spare magazine with FMJ's. If I perceive the threat is wearing armor, perhaps I'll have time to change magazines before engaging. This might have worked in the Tyler situation.
(I guess I'd have to steel myself against the disapproval of the Kennedy's and Shumer's of the world, who wouldn't want me to be using "cop killer" bullets)

The red looks to be temporary cavity, but the permanent cavity is a little unclear in the picture.Scott Murray wrote:Thanks, Paladin.
In the image, is there a significance to the black vs red coloration in the gelatin? Is the black the permanent crush cavity, and the red the temporary stretch cavity? Or is it something else?
I may need to go back to my .40 S&W barrel...

I think either the .357SIG or the .40 S&W will serve you well... although if I was up against Arroyo Sr. in Tyler, I'd preffer the .357SIG with some FMJ's

The temporary cavity can cause damage to the liver or brain. It's not much use besides that.Scott Murray wrote: But they sure leave different impressions on the balistic gelatin. It's hard to believe the effects on a body would be the same.
Honestly, I believe the advantage of the .357sig is not so much the JHP's temporary cavity, but the FMJ's penetration. Look at the specs for the .357sig and the specs for body armor.
