I will have to agree that any name brand ammo in JHP will do fine and stop like it should. I have some FBI stats I use in my rifle class, but they are not here in front of me.

If I remember right all the pistol bullets penetrated about the same as long as they were JHP's.

9mm may be faster and smaller diameter, but it is also lighter. I am not a physics guru, but I would think it would loose momentum sooner and break aprart easier.

There was a police vs. thug shooting a couple of years ago and the officer was using a 9mm (Glock 17) at close range and I don't think any exited the body.

I have always felt like the 40 is a compromise----the best of the worst and the worst of the best.
