Clark Kent: Sorry if i misinterpreted what you meant, and I didnt mean to patronize or put words in your mouth.
But you brought up the 65% stat, not me. I thought you were quoting the one stop shot rate for 32 acp, as published by M&S.
I have apparrently missed your point. Do you not believe the 65% number? If you dont, then why bring it up?
I am not trying to be antagonistic, I just dont think I am getting what you are saying with reference to the 65% stuff.
That being said, do you know how much penetration are those JHPs supposed to have? If it is the same as the FMJ, then I would think they will do fine. I worry about 32 acp not penetrating well enough though, and theoretically, a JHP design can penetrate less than a FMJ at similar velocities.
I dont have any kind of study to back up my opinions, but I have worked in trauma for about 10 yrs and have seen lots of people shot with 32 acp and just am not impressed with its penetration really. Additionally, most 32 acp hollowpoints dont expand much, but the Cor Bon may be different since it has more energy.
That being said, I carry a 32 acp more often than anything else, and I am not trying to be anti-32, just pointing out what i consider to be a potential shortcoming.
