Between the Speer 124 grain +P Gold Dots and the Speer 230 grain Short Barrel Gold Dots. Weapons are Glock 19 and a Glock 30.
The .45 came from the right, the 9mm came from the left. No clothing, 5 feet distance. The 9mm penetrated to 12 inches, the .45 penetrated to 12.25 inches.
The 9mm had the largest temporary cavity of 2.25 inches, compared to 1.75 inches with the .45. I dont have my notes on me at the moment, but the retained diameters were both around .68-.70 average.
This test was backyard fun. I didnt care to calibrate nor get the velocities becuase these were two similar weapons fired at the same block at almost the same time.
