Many thanks to Glockman30 for providing the ammunition used in this test and thank you as well to JB for their monetary support of this test and others.
The ballistic gelatin block was covered in light clothing and placed 18" behind the rear face of a piece of laminated automobile windshield glass. This glass was offset 45degrees with respect to the ground and turned at a ~ 15degree angle with respect to the vertical (this test is effectively FBI Test #6). 5 shots were fired, two missed the block due to deflection by the glass.
Weather conditions at the test site were: 33degF, <5 mile per hour wind and heavy clouds/fog.
Cartridge : Speer 124gr +P Gold Dot JHP and Cor-Bon 115gr DPX
Firearm : Glock 19 with 4.0" barrel length
Block calibration : All depths corrected (From 8.7cm @ 552 ft/sec)
Shot 1 - Speer 124gr +P Gold Dot JHP. Impacted at 1137 ft/sec, penetrated to 12.4" and was recovered at 0.548" average diameter.
Shot 2 - Speer 124gr +P Gold Dot JHP. Impacted at 1168 ft/sec, penetrated to 13.5" and was recovered at 0.547" average diameter.
Shot 3 - Cor-Bon 115gr DPX. Impacted at 1147 ft/sec, penetrated to 15.7" and was recovered at 0.421" average diameter.
