Lucky Gunner Labs has done a very interesting series of comparative ballistic tests of well over 100 defensive handgun rounds and presented the results in an easy to understand format. While we know that results in ballistic gelatin do not translate directly into performance on the street, well controlled gelatin tests are a valid way to get a better understanding of how one round performs in regard to another under the same conditions.
There are some interesting results in there, including well known rounds that fail to penetrate the minimum 12 inches, and rounds that consistently fail to expand at all.
Check out the data here and see if you like the way your current favorite defensive ammo stacks up against the others.
