"Just wondering if i should consider the less than 12" FBI "ideal" penetration."
if you do have to shoot a bad guy do you think he will be small or big? im willing to bet he will be big. also, watch videos of a 3" barrel if you want pocket gun videos, not a larger gun. i want a 12" wound channel and 16" + penetration. im going with a s&w shield in .40 s&w like this:
