Bottomline stopping power
So firing quality ammunition without concern for penetration, what is the pistol cartridge with the most stopping power?
I shoot .357 sig, which was a difficult at first, but I am getting better at it. It falls somewhere in between the recoil of 9MM and .45. Although nowhere near as bad as the .45
The kicker for me at least was that
.357 sig has 510 ft lbs of force compared to only 410 ft lbs. with .45 and 345 ft lbs. with 9MM.
The force I am quoting is based on Federal's Premium ammunition tables.
