I keep hearing that .45ACP FMJ is a bad idea for self-defense due to over-penetration issues. However, I've never actually seen gel testing to support this.
Considering that .45ACP FMJ dispatched many an amped-up native warrior in the Philippines, cleaned numerous trenches in WWI, kicked butt across multiple continents in WWII, dropped innumerable commies in Korea and Vietnam, and stopped a multitude of other nefarious characters in a multitude of other conflicts are there any actual gel tests out there to show that over-penetration is actually all that big a concern? Or is is all just speculation based on 9x17, 9x18, and 9x19 gel testing results?
