Here is a site I found informative. Ammunition for the Self Defense Firearm (http://www.scribd.com/doc/7818190/Ammunition-for-the-Self-Defense-Firearm)

I would take what Chuck says on that site with a grain of salt. His opinion of 9mm 147gr. ammo, for example, is years out of date.

These are better resources:

Best Choices for Self Defense Ammo (http://ammo.ar15.com/project/Self_Defense_Ammo_FAQ/index.htm#Ammunition%20comparison%20tests%20by%20D octor%20Roberts)

Wound Ballistics, Ballistic Injury, Stopping Power, Gunshot Wounds (http://www.firearmstactical.com/wound.htm)

I have had that page saved for years. You have to remember, however, that Mr. Hawks is a legend in his own mind.

I resemble that remark.

Wow! I just did a quick skim of those links and need to put aside some time to go back and do a better read. Thanks.
