Sorry if this has been covered before, but exactly how much more ME does a "standard pressure" (non +P or +P+) 9mm. 115 grain round have over a standard pressure .38 spcl. 158 grain round ?
Second question is, assuming the 115 grain 9mm. bullet to be HP, and the 158 grain .38 spcl. bullet to be LSWCHP , does anybody have data on the difference in "stopping power" on "one-shot stops" or any of those sorts of "effectivity"-type measuresbetween the two rounds?
Between a +P 9mm and the FBI load (.38 spcl. LSWCHP +P)?
Basically, there are so many people putting down the heavier .38 special in favor of their 115 grain 9mms, and I wonder about that. Thanks.
