Sometimes I suffer from penetration issues when I drink too much. :(

That is why some argue that .380 ACP should only be FMJ as the .380 suffers from penetration issues anyway.

Spot on for those "some". Typical penetration of 380 with HP's is approx. 5 inches....ok...lobbed one for jeff to have a bit of fun with didn't I? Lol ;)
