W wild cat mccane New member Apr 13, 2020 #22 The penetration differences from 380, 9mm, 40, 10mm FMJ is 20" to 36" with all rounds within those depths. 380 PMC StarFire from Glock 42 avg 23" and is a hollow point. (https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/) So it really doesn't matter. All those are too deep when hollow point is an option. When hollow point isn't an option, it doesn't matter.

R rc New member Apr 14, 2020 #25 I like shooting 124 grain best. I think on average they are a bit more accurate. The 147s are great in 38 super where they can be pushed to 1100 to 1200 no problem. In 9mm 147s are really not very practical without a suppressor.
