I believe most ammo ratings on the box are from 8 inch bench barrels.
As a former LEO, I would like to mention my feeling on ammo from several years of observation in the field. I have seen 32 ball do worse damage to human flesh than 40 cal hollow point. Seen a couple walk into the ER with a 22 short in them, but thirty minutes later, they were being rolled out of the room.
Seems that fate has a hand in what so many of the "ideal" rounds will do. In the above reference to a 32 vs a 40, the bad guy hit the officer twice with a 32 from a cheap wheel gun and bad guy got four 40's, even one to face. Bad guy lived and we lost a good officer. The FBI had touted the 40 golden sabre then, was not so hot that day.
I would guess, most officers on here would prefer to chose a defensive bullet, rather the suits at city hall anyway. I do like and carry hornady rounds in 4 handguns.
