I was testing out my new LCP today and was shooting some of the hornady critical defense .380 ftx ammo that I picked for it.
Anyways, I set up a few different things to shoot, one of them being an empty beer bottle. When I shot it, the bottle exploded! This is as opposed to shattering and the pieces falling to the ground like normal.
When I went to check out the wood the bottle had been resting against, I saw the bullet, fully expanded, and stuck in the surface of the 3/4 inch board. The glass of the bottle made the bullet fully expand and then it didn't even penetrate through the board behind it!
I also noticed the same results when shooting some one gallon jugs of water. Fully expanded, but stuck in the surface of the wood. But at least it had to travel through some water in those cases.
I'm not really that picky with ammo, but I'm rethinking the FTX....
