I just acquired a "new" S&W 3913, and was looking around for info on carry ammo. Based on discussions about the "short barrel" Gold Dot JHPs in revolvers, I was thinking about the Speer 124-grain 9mm.
Technical data on one vendor's site showed the same muzzle velocity for "plain" and +P, with the +P having more muzzle energy. (No +P+ for me, thanks.) I thought velocity and/or bullet weight would have to increase for energy to increase. Can anyone enlighten me without too much algebra? ( )
BTW, the price from the vendor mentioned above is about 48¢ per round (50-round box) vs. 80¢ for another company (with usually great prices) that only carries 20-round boxes. Now, if the one with the cheaper ammo also carried spare mags and stuff . . .
