Hey DB, if your carrying a G19 you should try and load it with 147 grain rounds. Heaviest you can get for the 9mm. That's what I use when I carry the 19. When I carry a revolver I always use super hard cast wad cutters in them. Cant get them for the G19 as far as I know. And yes, I always carry when outdoors.

Good article, and thanks for the link. I rarely carry anymore (actually, only once in the past 30 years or so), but good info anyway. I was pleased to read that these are suitable for the Glock 19.

I originally thought the information at this link would generate good discussion regarding this topic. But now I realize I was wrong. The information provided by this link, and the other I posted above effectively ‘completes’ this discussion. Turns out the “over penetration” criticism ends up being one of those “It’s not a bug, It’s a feature” things. While the event described certainly can be classified as anecdotal, it provides a real world example of "as advertised" performance capabilities. How one can achieve similar capabilities is up to the individual, there are ample resources available to assist in doing so. End of.

Might as well link to the photo. A picture is worth a thousand words. Including the 'compact' unit also ends up having one of those "less is more"  effects:
