besten (=stark expandierenden und damit weniger umfeldgefährdenden) Defensivmunition (bei Faustfeuerwaffen, bei
Gewehren passts).
In den Expertisen der IWBA und allen mir bekannten standardisierten (!) Tests bildet die Barnes DPX Vollkupferhohlspitzmunition
(in Ö. wäre die deshalb auch ohne Schützenpass völlig legal!) den Höhepunkt momentanen Defensiv-Geschoßdesigns und lässt
selbst die Federal HST, Winchester Ranger SXT und CCI Gold Dot (die momentan den Standard bilden) hinter sich zurück.

Pistol Bullet Performance:
The last time we did a bullet performance test was during a course in PA early last year. At that time, friend and colleague, Mike Shovel from Cor- Bon brought out huge blocks of ballistic gelatin, and we shot them with a varie ty of commercially-available, high-performance pistol ammunition. We required
each bullet to first penetrate four layers of denim before entering the gelatin. At that time, we discovered that denim retarded and frustrated th e expansion of a number of conventional, hollow-point bullets. In bare gelat in, most expanded just fine, but the denim barrier presented a problem for all but a few.
Last weekend, again in PA, Mike joined us once more for an Advanced Defensive Pistol Course, The gelatin tests continued:
Many commented last time that they wondered what effect a heavy, leather jacket would have on pistol-bullet performance and penetration. So, this t ime we required each bullet to penetrate a leather jacket AND four layers of de nim before entering the gelatin. Each student subjected his own, carry ammunition to the test. Here is what we found:
The combination of leather and denim frustrated most conventional, hollow-points. Most traversed the gelatin with badly-compromised expansion . Some did not expand at all. Even Cor-Bon's vaunted PowerBall (45ACP, out of my Detonics) did not do well in this test. I was surprised, as few rounds wil l out-expand PowerBall, but the layers of clothing, combined with the Detonic s' short barrel, conspired to thwart performance.
The one round that expanded consistently and completely, despite the leathe r and denim barrier, in all calibers, was Cor-Bon's DPX! DPX, in 40S &W, 45ACP, 357SIG, 38Super, and 45AutoRim, were all unimpressed by the leather and denim. Even 380Auto DPX, out of my little Kel-Tec, was immune. It expande d symmetrically and completely, penetrating nine inches of gelatin, after penetrating the clothing.
I am more persuaded than ever that DPX provides superior performance in the widest spectrum of circumstances, consistently outperforming any other bullet of which I am aware.
