Here are some very limited tests with a Ruger P95 to compare with the PM9 above.

A friend had a round of "police" ammo used by the local LEO's and kept bothering me to test it in the wetpack. I agreed if we could use his pistol since the round was marked Federal +p+.

I ain't shooting no +p+ in my pistols. I think the ammo number is P9HS3G1, anybody know if that makes sense?

So I fired a few other rounds to compare with the police round.

As far as I'm concerned the +p+ failed miserably (for civilian use). Reason, the velocity is too high for plain wet paper and comes apart. The FBI uses 4 layers of denim in their tests and also must pass other barrier tests that we may never encounter. That will slow a hot bullet down and still get expansion and penetration in gelatin.

But bare gelatin, wetpaper, waterjugs...it's gonna fragment.

So, if you live down south here, ain't nobody wearing 4 layers of denim. And most BG looking characters are goin round with only a t-shirt. Don't think getting some "police" ammo is going to help you. Based on this unballistic test, it's crap for what we might ever need it for. Stick to the basics and use the best factory ammo available.

Sorry, I didn't include a Speer 124gr+p round, it does good in my Glock and that's the hotest round I'll use.

og.......this'll be my last test for awhile, vacations and all that.
