The guys from Moss Pawn

have gone out to the range to test whether 9mm can be an effective round past 100yards.  And the find out it is.



No surprise really.  As I and many other blogger have said and will always say, it is shot placement and not the caliber which is the most effective.  Even .25 ACP is effective in the hands of someone who places the rounds into the target properly.

However Eric seemed to be surprised that at 440 yards the 9mm was able to penetrate the ballistics gel dummy.  I've seen a hog get shot with a 9mm at almost 600 yards and it only took 1 Federal Hydrashock to take done the hog.  It was out of a Colt Ar-15 9mm Carbine and he said he aimed about 3 feet above the hog, but 1 round did take it down.

So remember, even a "Pip-Squeak" gun can do the job.  If the shooter does theirs.
