He's forgotten more than I'll probably ever know.

But any 9mm is going to be plenty fast for expansion purposes.

A little heavier bullet and load start to get you near or at 40 cal territory in terms of energy.

My EDC is a Kimber Ultra Carry in .45ACP with a Crimson Trace grip and 185 Grain Gold Dot hollow points. A .45 needs that little extra speed for expansion, especially out of a 3 inch barrel. Since I reload practice is still affordable.
