That being said, carry what you like and shoot well. But they have no reason to "lie" and show relative equal performance of their major pistol caliber rounds. I would however, like to see the same test performed shooting through heavy denim and some other real world barriers.

SoCal, do you have any data on the Winchester 147 you are issued? I'm interested in that round and maybe their 127+p as well.
The department did some testing before I came to my current position and I have the data somewhere...I think it's a power-point. We also have two displays of the recovered rounds...I think we tested .223, .45, and 9mm...Rangers, I think HSTs and possibly Gold-Dots. I'll see if I can dig up the file.
