Question:
During winter conditions, i.e. people wearing heavy coats, will 9x18 FMJ be better at penetrating potential human targets at 20 years than JHP?
I have a IJ-70 Makarov in 9x18 as my carry piece, and I am currently carrying JHPs but then I heard that 9x18 JHP is not as effective as FMJ in penetration. I know JHP .45 and JHP 9 mm do not have the same problem of penetration as 9x18 JHP.
So is 9x18 JHP as effective as FMJ in penetrating winter coats at 15-20 yards?
