Regarding power of the .357 loads in the SP101 vs. the 9mm +P+ in the Glock 26, does anyone have true chronographed and calculated ballistics for both? That would be the definitive statement, rather than assuming the .357 is greatly outclassing the G26.

Plus I might add paper 'energy' figures are NOT a direct correration as what happens on the street. It has been found energy, momentium, Bullet area, bullet construction, medium struck (bone, flesh, fluid, obstructions like coats, belts, walls, etc...) all have an effect on how well the cartridge works.
