I shot a deer with one out of my 24" barrel M94 Legacy.  Hit the deer broadside and angling down from the stand at about 30 yards. Passed straight through and all I found was a small copper fragment.  Excellent performance.  Bet it would work pretty well from a pistol.

I`m not sure who makes America Eagle ammo, but I`m thinking Remington. Anyway, if they are Rem. bullets the terminal performance is excellent from a handgun. At handgun velocities I believe that they preform as well on deer as any bullet on the market. I prefer to load Serria`s as I think that they are just alittle more accurate, but if your happy with the accuracy, you will be happy with the terminal performance.

I liked using those in my SW 44 four inch.
good accuracy and good terminal performance on deer and smaller stuff. Full penetration.
