Hi, Pat. Both the Brown Bear & Silver Bear 115gr JHP are factory loads that do an honest 1,000fps. Don't take my word for it, check w/the guys who have actually chrono'd the loads: http://www.gunboards.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=110185
Besides, these are true 9.2mm bullets for the Mak, not 9mm bullets (9mm bullets would be undersized & create gas blow-by w/commensurate loss of accuracy & velocity).
My own admittedly informal testing w/water correlates to an appx 12"-14" penetration in gel according to the conversion formula by the guys at Ammo Lab. That's good enough for me but if forced to use a lighter bullet I would go w/FMJ.

PS- How many years did the West German police use the .32ACP as their std sidearm? While a bit light for my taste I don't recall hearing/reading any complaints from them.
