got a quick summary of how they preformed so i don't have to read all 46 pages
Well, true enough - it does beg questions re over penetration but sure as heck - the rounds did a good job! And yes, they were dead on too!Medical Examiner
Dr. Wendloyn Sneed, of the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Office, performed an autopsy upon Mr. Alpizar on December 8, 2005. The autopsy revealed:
• four (4) penetrating gunshot wounds, i.e. no exit point. Trajectory: Front to back
• three (3) perforating gunshot wounds, i.e. with exit. Trajectory: Front to back
• three (3) grazing gunshot wounds.
It should be noted that the amount of gunshot wounds mentioned above do not relate to the number of gunshots fired because one fired shot can cause several wounds.
The Medical Examiner discovered four (4) projectiles directly associated with the four (4) penetrating gunshot wounds, extracted and turned them over to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Your preferences are certainly yours, and you are entitled to them, of course. Damning the 357SIG on the basis of one shooting, with extremely limited information, is a bit of a stretch, though. Particularly since nothing about the ballistic performance was unique to the 357SIG.fed_wif_a_sig said:One thing I have learned recently is that the 357 Sig is nothing but a 125gr 9mm bullet on a bottle necked 40 case. Theory sounded good, but after this review I'd prefer a 200gr 45 (da flying ashtray) or atleast a 115gr +p 9mm.
fed_wif_a_sig said:The round was selected because the USSS chose it. Over time the "word" was that this round did not overpenetrate. Penetrating the aircraft skin isnt a problem, its the cartridge splitting up and sending several smaller projectiles out of the skin and into the mass's behind. When I was on the streets, that wasnt a problem (as in the Miami incident) but if it had stayed on the plane? Imigian where those three projo's whould have ended up? Somewhere 50 to 80 feel back? That worries me. Like I said earlier, I dont know the answer but it just is something to discuss.
