  The “high-tech 9mm bullets” argument only holds water if you pretend the improved bullet technologies haven’t been applied to all other pistol calibers. Indeed, modern 9mm projectiles — like bonded designs or the all-copper Barnes TAC-Xp hollow points — do deliver much more reliable expansion and penetration characteristics than older designs.

  But .40 and .45 caliber TAC-XPs give proportionately better expansion/penetration than older designs in those calibers.

  A “new” 9mm design might equal the performance of an older .45 design, but falls just as far behind when you compare apples to apples.

  Police bullets commonly need to defeat automobile glass and this is a simple matter of mass; the bigger bullets will always do more damage to the target after being shredded by the glass.

  Let’s compare the three most common police sidearm cartridges in the most common sidearm.

  I’ll use the velocity values from Black Hills Ammunition’s line of Barnes Tac-XP bullets in the chart because I have the correlating gelatin expansion/penetration data. Is the bigger hole worth the added recoil?

  The volume of the permanent cavity calculated from expanded diameter and depth of penetration.
