I know exactly what you need. I also live in an aprtment complex and in the same situation you are. I have researched this ammunition thouroughly before I made my descision on what to use for home defense along with other frangibles and hollow points. This is what everyone should carry for personal and or Tactical defense in my opinion. So i will read it all off for everyone so everyone can make there own discissions after seeing PROOF, something you dont hardly ever see when you buy ammunition. Its actually a TFSP (Total Fragmenting Soft Point) and they have a TPD (Tactical Personal Defense)
That bullet kicks more ass than any hollow point in my opinion (no I have never shot it at anyone but after seeing the proof they provide), and it still will stop faster, and not rip through apartment doors, celings, walls etc. I dont know what size Tactical your shooting and it really doesn't matter with this bullet. Your typical hollowpoints (except Glasers&Magsafes) and stuff go somewhere between 900-1400feet per second. This ammunition travels at well, 40cal.(TPD) travels Over 2300feet per second & 800flbs. and in 9mm(TPD) Over 2300 fps. & 600 flbs. Granted, its only 50grains for 9mm and 70grains for 40s&w, but remember this is not a target/range bullet, this is what you need for your situation, if some one breaks in my house and I have family members in other rooms, I don't want to be ripping off full metal jacks for sure especially in an apartment complex, even the typical hollowpoints bounce around off of anything hard and certainly will blow clean through numerous layers of drywall.
Damage control: Bullets are shot through 4 layors of nylon to simulate human clothing and into 10% Ordnance Gelatin (what all bullets are fired into standard ballistc testing) at 30*
9mm TPD: Cavity Diameter 7'' and Penetration 9''
40s&w TPD: Cavity Diameter 9'' and Penetration 10''
Wouldn't want to get hit by either one of those, and if you dont like any of those numbers you can step down one notch to the (TFSP) total fragmenting soft point. Its the same thing just not as nasty.
shot at 30' into 10"x10"x16" 10% Calibrated Gelatin through four layers of ballistic nylon. Entrance through left end. No exit.
LOL, thats not even the nsaty one thats the TFSP, looks like from where I'm sitting you'de only have to fire probably only one of these rounds before someones going down, I doubt anyones getting up after having that done inside there torso, there wouldn't be anything left. Everything takes some serious damage.
And remember this is NOT a bashing everyone elses ammunition of choice type deal or I would have started my own thread, this is in response to a question, hollowpoints and magsafes(glasers) etc. is all good personal defense ammunition and they will all also put your ass down to the ground. This is just what I choose to use based on the facts of this ammunition. Here is there website and I hope you all find it as usefull as I did. It has gelatain testing done for all of the calibers and even some comparisons to other hollow points.
