147 grain in the P95

[gatorhugger]

My guns have either old 147 black talons or 147 HST's.
The odds or me ever using either are astronomical, so I am not
fretting either way but I know they penetrate and expand very well after shooting a bunch in beef fat.
I also have 124 grain +p HST sitting around that tested out fantastic as well. Those are nasty in meat.
Penetration was a couple of inches less than the 147's but violent expansion.
My opinion is it doesn't matter, get a premium anything and all is well.
But I will always give the nod to penetration if pushed in a corner.
So that would be for the 147's

As with any round out of a handgun shot placement becomes more important than a modern self defense round.

Gang bangers kill plenty of folks with WWB hard ball.

So...gang bangers are talented shooters? I think, probably not.

Even a .22 will kill you next week. So will bacteria.

I want something a little more efficient, and I don't believe in magic bullets.

Big. Heavy. Well-placed. Everything else is either a compromise or belief in magic.
