[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2188349, member: 7999"] Generally speaking pistols are very low vel with relatively very large dia bullets. Compound that with an expanding bullet and you will have results like hitting a pig in the head 4 times with out killing it. A 22lr has much higher vel with relatively small dia which results in fully penetrating the skull and brain. One and done. This is why a 22lr works well for slaughtering livestock and and big handguns do not. This is why we do not want our Jack Hammers to expand. Putting your life in the capability of a handgun is sketchy. It gets very sketchy when the bullets expand. [/QUOTE]
