We can debate that. A round passing through a body won't transfer nearly as much energy as a round expanding into said target. Even a .500 S&W will just poke a slightly bigger hole unless you can get more energy transfer from the kinetics of the bullet to the target.

My carry pistol is a Witness 10mm. First 5 rounds are 135gr XTP loaded at 6grs of W-231. Yeilds around 1720 FPS on the chrono. Follow that with 5 180gr FMJ loaded at 5.7 and another 5 200gr SP loaded at 5.9.

And so we shall. :)

Eh, just kidding. You are very well armed and that 10mm sounds really nice to me.
