Would a 110 grain JHP, white box, .357 round be considered adequate for SD? I like the low recoil of this load, but I wonder if it would have enough penetration, etc.? Anyone?

I say your good with that round - much better than a .38 and .38+p and those are respected rounds.
shot Placement Is The Key
Exactly how far do you want it to penetrate? If you have to shoot someone (god forbid) 10 inches is going to go through most people, and if not go through, it's still going to go far enough to hit something vital.The thing is that the 110gr. loads are known for only penetrating 9-10"
I agree, on this point at least. The "FBI Standard" of 12" was taking into consideration the possibility of shooting through the target's arm on the way to the torso. It's only about 9" to run thorough everything on most any human.10 inches is going to go through most people, and if not go through, it's still going to go far enough to hit something vital.
