I have enjoyed all of mikes u tube posts including the Deringer BUT he says a good heavy overcoat can stop this round. I agree it is not a powerful round, however it IS deadly.
I calculate it would penetrate about 8" of ballistic gel or 0.9" of wood according to Hatcher. A hit on a cartridge belt, sheriff's badge, or bible placed over your heart would probably save you but surely not a heavy overcoat.
I have also read that this round fired at close range into a tree could bounce back and hit you. doubtful I think. Perhaps American overcoats are much better than British ones
