Okay, I got too interested about where the energy from a handgun bullet actually goes. Apparently it's been studied a bit and two PHDs compiled some 'Scientific Evidence for Hydrostatic Shock', which does include information regarding handguns and remote damage to the nervous system. It can be downloaded in PDF form here:

But they also have a paper entitled 'The Ballistic Pressure Wave Theory of Handgun Bullet Incapacitation' which is similar but can be found here:

Very interesting stuff. And it might explain the fabled success of the 125gr HP .357 Magnum. I mean...maybe. Take a look and see what you make it.
