This is a photo showing a comparison in size of various JHP rounds fired into newspaper wet packs. FMJ bullets recovered are also shown. The photo is just a quick handheld shot for information only and is not real sharp focus.

The Legend for Photo: pistol used, JHP brand, maximum expansion, penetration.

1. Browning 5 1/2"barrel, CCI Stinger 32gr, .375"exp, 9"pen **
2. Kel Tec P32, Win Silvertip 60gr, .450"exp, 5+" penetration
3. Kel Tec P32, Speer GoldDot 60gr, .470" exp, 5+"penetration
4. Kel Tec P3AT, Win Silvertip 85gr, .500" exp, 6 - 8" pen.
5. Kel Tec P3AT, Speer GoldDot 90gr, .468" exp, 6" pen
6. Kel Tec P11, Fed H-Shok 135gr "pd", .65" exp, 6" pen
7. Glock G19, Speer GoldDot 124gr +p, .65" exp, 8+" pen
8. Ruger P90, Fed Hydra-Shok 230gr, .63" exp, 7+" pen
9. Springfield 1911, Win 230gr USA45JHP, .730" exp, 7" pen
10. Ruger P90, Rem GoldenSaber 230gr, .72" exp, 6+" pen

**note: .22cal gets zero expansion with short barrel pistols such as NAA mini, test results are available but not shown here. In the Browning the best hollowpoint tried is the Stinger.

Draw your own conclusions. These tests are by no means final. But note how close the expansion results are for the .32cal and .380cal. The .380 Silvertip had better penetration due to it's higher rated velocity. Also, the .32cal JHP has a higher rate for failure to expand than the .380, results not shown here.

It's also interesting that the little P11 with Fed HShok "personal defense" 135gr. did almost as well as Speer GoldDot 124gr+p with the Glock G19. Just less penetration.

The FMJ bullets went from 10 - 13" in the wet packs.

og........too cold for the range, just play on the computer.
