So I took my new Taurus PT .25 through its paces and am pleasantly surprised. Accuracy was very good out of such a small pistol. With the winchester 50 grain FMJ rounds, I was consistently penetrating one of those pressure treated 2X4's (albeit the 2" side), even when I was aiming for the knot in the wood. Granted the bullet was lying on the ground behind the wood, but this is more penetration than I expected.
Now I'm not advocating the taurus as a carry gun, but will suffice as a BUG if one is in dire circumstances and it was the only thing available, especially considering its accuracy.
Many .45 fans (an I'm one) would consider the .25 as useless, or would make a ridiculous statement critical of the small caliber with no basis in fact or first hand experience.
-" A thrown fastball from a major league pitcher has more energy"
It's true-about 35 fpe more than the winchester load, but what they neglect to tell you is that an average 60 pound draw weight compound bow (roughly the same KE as the .25), which can be used to harvest deer and bear, also has less ME than the fastball, go figure.
Other inane statements are mostly based on biases and bravado, are are half-truths. Anyways, cheers.
