This is what I was looking for, to hear it from somebody that has actually done this. Perty good reading, thanks .

I've started to look harder into this subject a couple of months ago without any good explanation or tests that can confirm or deny the reason why one would be better than the other on human targets. Rifles are different, due to the high power they have, it doesn't matter what type of bullet you use, it most likely would go through. I understand that it is hard to know exactly what happens when a bullet from a handgun goes though a human body without having a real human to test it on, unless we ask forensic examiners. Also, every caliber and barrel lenght plays a game on ballistics. But I just want to know what you guys carry for personal protection and the idea or reason behind it. Me, I started to carry JHP's on my 45's, but not too sure it is the right ammo if I want to penetrate everything that will be on the way before main internal organs get damaged. With FMJ you know you will penetrate everything as long as your are hitting your target, and the velocity of the bullet when it comes out the other end should not have much energy to hurt another human body you do not intend to and the likleyhood that an inocent bystander will be on that bullet's path is very slim. I've seen tests of JHP's but only on jellatin and other objects which do not resemble what a human body is made of (flesh,muscle,bones). So what is your theory or opinions on this subject? Or if you know of a website with forensic facts/evidence, books etc. that would be greatley appreciate it. Thanks for your comments .
