Bullet

           Comparison

 

As an example - calibers available for a semi-automatic self-defense handgun (380 Auto to 45 Auto) have velocities in the 819 to 1,050 fps range. This difference in velocity does not make a significant difference, especially at a distance of 50 yards. At 819 fps a bullet will travel 50 yards in approximately 0.18 seconds.

 

At 1,050 fps a bullet will travel 50 yards in approximately 0.14 seconds. This trivial difference of 0.04 seconds in speed will not make any difference in a self-defense situation. Therefore the velocity of a specific caliber of handgun bullet is not a variable that needs to be considered in the choice of the best caliber for a self-defense handgun
