The sanctuary is normally full on Sunday mornings.
To my mind, over penetration is a main concern in the event that an active shooter has to be dealt with.
A large slow moving handgun bullet is what I am thinking ?
Consideration :
1. .38 spl hollow base wad cutter bullet reversed with hollow base outward
2. .38 spl fragmentation round
3. .44 spl HP
4. .45 acp 185 gr HP
Opinions ??
Thanks

Modern hollow points are engineered to expand and stop within the body of one that is shot center mass by it .. there isn't any need to use anything else .. I would feel as comfortable shooting my 9mm as my 40 S&W ammo or my .380 acp for ammo for all three pistol will stop within a persons body ..
reversing a bullet is asking for added liabilities if you were to miss or had a pass through with it .. as its not a normal bullet formation that can be bought .. I would stay away from hand loads and only use what your police force uses if possible .. if not any commercially available HP ammunition staying away from +P and +P+ loads !!
