What would you consider to be a better all around load from Double Tap, the 165gr XTP JHP or the 230gr Gold Dot?
Bullet : 165gr. XTP JHP
Ballistics : 1325fps - 643 ft./lbs. - 5" 1911
Bullet : 230gr. Speer Gold Dot JHP
Ballistics : 1010fps/ 521 ft./lbs. - 5" 1911
They would be fired from a G21 which is my duty weapon. How does each compare at penetrating windshields or car doors? Both of which are real possibilities for me.
I carry Federal Hydra Shoks 230gr right now but they have been carried since December and I ussually get new carry ammo every 6 months so its time for a change. If I won't be getting anything extra from the Double Taps I will just get more Federals. I am just looking around since the time has come for fresh ammo.
