SS190 does shoot through a lot.
Paper, cardboard, a cracker, a cd but only if you are a really good shot.

I have to agree. I run the short barrel 180 gold dots. I may be switching to the HST next run. I've been liking what I've been seeing in the HST tests.
Well, it looks like when all the 'dust' settles', the bottom line is: Hit what you shoot at.
And snappy depends on the gun. I heard several claim the shield in a 40 was very snappy, but in a 9mm it was comfortable. I purchased the 9mm for several other reasons anyway, but I believed the guy on snappy in a short light pistol. On the other hand my Sig Sauer P226 in 40 feels just like my other full size 9mm, I don't notice a difference. And yes, shot placement will be the primary stopping factor, always.
Yes, it does. Actually a decent round. Several Law Enforcement agencies carry it world wide. Secret Service carries it also.

Now that is data security I can get behind...
no love for the 10mm???
I find the lack of love for the 357sig to be the most shameful thing. Everyone loves the 357 magnum, it provides comparable performance with comparable bullets in the 125gr range. Converting a 40S&W to a 357sig generally results in less muzzle flip and less felt recoil, with an equal or greater amount of energy. Secret service used to use it in sig P229 DAKs, not sure if they still do.
10mm is great but I feel as though it's a better hunting round than defensive round. Load it up with 200gr XTPs and you have excellent medicine for most anything in north america. With lighter bullets, it'll just over drive them until you dial down the velocity, then you're back to 40S&W performance.
For that matter, I wonder why the 9x23mm isn't commonplace. As it's even a decent step up in power from the 357 sig, while being an extremely simple round. Simply a lengthened 9mm.

There have been a lot of people talking about this picture above and the move to/back 9mm. My defense round is a .40 S&W 180 gr PDX1 in a xDm 3.8. I see that the penetration of the .40 180gr JHP is about the same as the 9mm. Shouldn't we be concerned about the wound cavity too? I understand that the 9mm has less recoil meaning that someone might be able to get off more rounds but I'm not sure how big of an issue this is if you train with a .40.
On another note, I've never shot a 10mm but I understand the recoil has a snap. The wound cavity and penetration looks impressive! I'm sure it would make one hell of a hunting round.
