Below is the e-mail I got from Mike at DT. Are you a fan of heavy and slow bullets or a light and fast ones? If it's the latter, take a look. Seeing as how the 125grain 357mag round has the best track record for one-shot stops, these might be worth giving a shot.

 

 

We have launched two new loads that will change everything for personal defense:

 

The new 357 Sig 80gr. Barnes TAC-XP @ 1725fps!!!

The new 9mm 80gr. Barnes TACXP @ 1560fps!!!

These loads will provide unrivaled stopping power along with less chance of overpenetration for home defense and urban carry. Also, your tiny 3" barreled pistols will still get 1400fps+ allowing the bullet to do its job. All in all either would be a great choice for someone serious about personal defense.

 

Thanks for your time and business,

WOW, at over $1.00 a bullet, I'll stick with my FN 5.7 at 2050 fps for .40 a bullet

They do make quality ammo.

Which is on the complete opposite spectrum. The point of this ammo is to NOT overpenetrate. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have that handgun.....but not if I was extremely concerned about overpenetrating.

yeah but at 1500 + there has to be some serious recoil felt. Especially in the 3 inch barrels.

 

357 sig at 125gr is kinda harsh, imagine at 80gr... wow...

Usually recoil is less in a lighter hypervelocity round. I dont think they are breaking any ground. I know this has been tried before, the reults were less than game changing.....
