Hello All,
I noticed there seems to be a good amount of NATO spec 124gr 9mm ammo for sale. I'm pretty sure the NATO spec is equal to about a regular +P. I think they are good for about 385 ft/lbs in a service-sized arm.
There is, of course, the 147gr flat-nose fmj which is good for about 320 ft/lbs in a serviced-sized arm.
I'm wondering which is better for stopping power, barrier penetration, and avoidance of bullet deflection, and by how much, if that's a realistic thing to know or have an idea about.
The 147gr has more momentum going for it, all things being equal. But the 124gr NATO spec has about 65 ft/lbs more energy/power.
Have a pleasant and safe weekend, all.
