I hate to post annother thread about this, but my question is a little different. Can anyone point me to a good comparrison, that is more than opinion, but perhaps a study, perhaps ballistics out of similar guns?
I have seen some, but they might compare a full sized Glock to a Compact XD. I would not call that a good comparrison. It might be better than nothing, but not quite at the scientific level.
I guess it would be really cool to have a side by side test with average 9 FMJ weight with an average .40 FMJ weight same manufacture/line on ammo, and same manufacture/line on the guns. For example Glock full size 9mm Glock .40, Winchester 9mm FMJ, .40 S&W (pick the average/most common weight for each??). You might even compare hollow points in a similar method.
I would love to see balistics gel, accuracy, muzzle velocity etc. with this kind of (more scientific) data comparrison.
Does this exist anywhere? I have searched for it on the internet. There is a lot of opinion, some are probably valid, and I know there are good arguments on both sides. I will just say that there are good reasons for both, but I am trying to make a fairly educated decision on this, and I am struggling for a good comparrison other than "I think ____ is best because____", without much of a scientific approach to it.
There are some very valid opinions, I want to take any bias and gut feeling out of it. I am want to isolate it to the ballistics for the round, not the gun. Yep, that is hard due to there being several variables and differences between the 2 different rounds/loading/powder/weight.
Any help??? Thanks!
