.38/9MM
« on: March 27, 2009, 02:20:39 AM »
Can someone display the ballistics of the following:
9MM
.38
.38 special
.38 special +p
.38 super
9X23
The reason for the request is that the 9mm and .38 are the same size and this is to compare the ballistics of each.

Bill posting of all the tables you are looking for would take up a lot of space here. Here's a link that gives you all the information you require. Scroll down past the CF rifle charts to the handgun section and click on the ones you want to compare. Have a good one, William!

Thanks for the link---that works just as well.

The thought behind the post was to show that velocity is pretty much the same at distances we are discussing. The only change that would matter would be size, not weight---IMO.
Now at ranges of say 50 yards or so there is a marked difference.
That being the case, if you want a flat shooter in a semi configuration that will more than compete with a wheel gun .357 then there are only two that must be considered---357sig or 9x23.
At 50 yards, I have chance to run and hide---depending on circumstances.
