if you have ever seen the videos and studied the cases that LEO's learn about in the academy you would know why knock down power is important. however, there is more than one way to skin a cat. and often times penetration is not good enough in itself. you need cavitation. and more over, cavitation that is big enough to cause a gaping wound that wont close and will bleed out. simply it boils down to the right combination of projectile mass, and velocity.
Thats why i load 69gr OTMs in .223 when i hunt coyotes and critters.
3080fps and it does nasty things to soft tissue in a serious way.

I have had my xd 40 for about 3 months and love it put maybe 5 clips through it. I'm thinking about selling it. I paid $470 for it brand new I would sell it for $400 if anyone is interested

Damn I miss my XD45 (stolen out of my truck). Before I got mine I shot my friends. The place where we went shooting at had a 12"x12" sign 75yd's away. if i didnt hit the sign i was inches away, and that was with regular Remington UMC ball rounds. that sold me on it. For personal protection I carried RBCD Performance Plus ammunition. A Gun Dealer out in cali told me about them. I bought a box and tried it out, he said this ammunition will go through solid materials and explode when it his a liquid mass. so out in the desert there are many abandoned cars, i found one with the door window still in it. i rolled the window down and put a gallon of water on the drivers seat. i shot through the door and window into the gallon. i saw glass fly up from the door the immediately after a wet explosion. i found most of the pieces of the bullet in the drivers seat. it also helped the bullets were 90gr vs the std 270gr ball round. the weapon was much lighter with 14 rounds in it.
