First I found a random piece of solid steel. 1/16 inch thick and very, very dense. Then I shot at it a few times with some different bullets, in different loads, from about 15 feet away. Here is what happened. I will let you draw your own conclusions:
Weapons used:
.357 / .38 ... Ruger SP101 - 3" barrel
.45 ... Glock 36 - 3.78" barrel
.40 ... Glock 23 - 4.02" barrel
My conclusion:
I will never carry a .45 ACP again. If I want the firepower of a five inch barrel (cough 1911 cough) I can carry a big ol' .357 revolver with 7 rounds in the chamber - and be better off for it... and when I dont want to carry a hand cannon (on the other 330 days out of the year), I will carry my G23.
