It's only weak when you are BEHIND the muzzle...
Is it just me, or is it the lawyers who have achieved this "failsafe" ammo situation?

The more I mess with my Glock, the more I become positive that the legendary ".40 kaboom" is because the 9mms and .40s use the same spring weight. I'm going to take some fired primer photos and post them in a few minutes....Actually, when you take all the market factors into account, steadily weakening ammo and recoil springs makes sense.
Phil DeGraves has a point. Today's weak ammo is killing people and stopping situations every dayIt's only weak when you are BEHIND the muzzle...
Tests have shown up to 65 layers of kevlar (so it's supposed to punch through most pistol vests), I've personally shot this round through 5 mm thick steel wall of a train cabin, so no worries for this round being too weak. But I should keep a small supply of CZ spares in the drawer.It has a extra ordinary thick jacket that prevents it from deforming easily, and that makes it better in penetrating hard targets. Some examples: It goes through 50 layers of kevlar or 20 cm of wood or 7 cm of brick. The jacket of the projectile also leads to a higher tear and wear on the weapon. Some figures point at up to 25% higher wear on the barrel when using m/39B ammunition compared against normal 9x19 ammunition e.g. m/39
