So, do you have any references?
Which leads me back to the caveat of which I thought I had clearly stated--we need tests to determine if, in fact, Critical Duty ammo does or does not over-penetrate out of a short barrel pistol (I have yet to find a text or video report speaking to such). Until such time, it's all conjecture.If they decide to try and scrutinize your choice of bullet, they will lose that argument in court.
But you will be charged with the accidental killing, if you over penetrate and hit someone else. Yes, even if you use a JHP and it fails to expand, causing it to act like a FMJ and over penetrate.
By your way of thinking, why don't police use FMJ's?
(Answer- Over penetration issues )
I will stick with the Gold Dot.should i be worried that these rounds wont expand from the 3" barrel of a Kel Tec PF9? I'd rather not go to a +p round.
I do think the Critical Defense would be more appropriate for self defense use as you would have a hard time proving you couldnt retreat in most cases when shooting through car doors or glass .
Its not meant to imply they will automatically use it to shoot through car doors. Its just meant to say some people wont buy ammo unless it can shoot through car doors even though it may be overkill. I'd worry more about overpenetration and whats beyond your target. The Op asked if he should be worried if this ammo will expand out of a 3 inch barrel. If something doesnt expand it normally overpenetrates.Someone has to bring up the legal implications in any thread about ammo. So, because someone carries a bonded bullet or anything else designed to penetrate barriers, means they will automatically start shooting at car doors? I don't understand how that's relevant here.
