Barrier performance: Pistol Calibers

In my experience shooting car doors, the more KE, the better. 357SIG and .40S&W and 124g+P 9mm all did better than the .45ACP and 147gr 9mm I shot at the car door. Same results regarding pine that I shot, FWIW.
With windshields, I think it has been determined that more weight=less deflection. However, using bonded ammo, 9mm-.45ACP seems to do about equal with regard to distance penetrated in gel after the glass.

As noted, it all depends on the barrier. Higher velocity projectiles generally work better against steel, while heavier projectiles tend to offer better performance against windshields.

You can do a search for something a certain member has posted by searching both the key-words, as well as their user-name at the same time. Makes things work easier I find when looking for a specific author's statements on things.

Well, the ultimate barrier penetration using a handgun, would be with 7.62x25! Good old Tokarev or CZ52 and kevlar helmet is no more. Same goes for car doors, brick walls, many bulletproof vests, etc...
