I'll assume that when you say "without penetration" you mean without "over-penetration".I have not tested the rounds in any of the arms you list, but have been extremely satisfied with "frangible" rounds in handguns. Glaser is good but expensive; Triton makes a "Frangible" (sintered copper) that I really like in 9mm; I've just bought some of Aguila's "IQ" alloy 45 and 9mm rounds which I have yet to test.Bullets that "break-up" on impact are the only sure way of avoiding over-penetration and giving maximum energy transfer to the target, although good hollow points can be effective--in hollow points in 9mm I like Corbon's 115gr +P.

The bullets that are in the Triton loads are a made by Sinterfire of Kersey PA. They are available as components if you hand load also. I'm not positive but I think I heard Triton and Sinterfire broke off the deal but like I said I'm not positive.

Nothing like a good JHP 115gr 9mm+Punless of course its a JHP 125gr .357 mag.
