Question,
Given the FBI/IWBA recommendation for self defense rounds being 12 to 18 inches penetration of 10% ballistic gel, which of the two following rounds would you choose to carry (assuming reliability, shootability, ect are the same)?
"The Undrepenetrator" -large expansion with consistent 10-12 inches gel penetration.
"The Overpenetrator" -mild expansion with consistent penetration to 20-22 inches gel.
For the sake of this exercise, lets keep it to these two choices. I know the proper answer is "neither". We would like moderate expansion with penetration of 15-16 inches. Please post the reasoning behind your choice.
