SHIFT ZOMBIE thats not the case at all. The CD ammo is loaded to normal pressures. The reason it penetrate 12.5" in 10% ballistic gelatin is that is what it was designed to do. The bullet jacket determines the rate of expansion which in turn limites the over penetration so common with conventional 9mm rounds. 12"-14" is considered to be about ideal. In a nut shell the bullet is exhausting all of its energy on the the target.
My .380 chambers the CD ammo best and baulks a bit on Gold Dots...,go figure as I use them in my 9mm & 45 ACP.

My MK9 eats everything I've thrown through it. Right now, she is loaded with 115 gr CD. But I have 124 gr Speer GD and 124 gr Rem GS in spare mags that work 100% also.

PM9 loves 124 gr GD and 124 gr GS also. Haven't tried any CD in that one yet.

None of my 1911s (.45 acp) would successfully shoot one mag filled with CD. Not sure why, but for that caliber they suck.

Once broke in the gun should devour anything you feed it.
For SD purposes;
Speer GDHP 124 +P
Federal HST 124 +P
Winchester Ranger T-Series 127 +P+
are some favorite 9mm rounds of mine.

(although I carry an MK40 Elite with Speer GDHP 155 gr Duty Ammo)

Thanks, Barth - I was hoping for that kind of answer.
