I also recall that article from the Law Enforcement Handgun Digest by Grennell and Williams, ca. 1974. You are correct on the velocity from the 2" barrel. The authors also found that a point blank shot from that barrel length would not penetrate side window auto glass and would only put a shallow gouge in the body work.
