Though it may not be my first choice, I sure as h*ll would not feel unarmed with it in my S.D. gun. I am guessing the 2" performance would be some what less- 200-250 fpe. The listed ballistics are probably from a 6" non-vented test barrel. On the performance curve, this round would be on the high penetration side of things, which can be good or bad, depending on your situation.
