Handgun Bullet Muzzle Energies by Caliber

(Updated 2022-11-18)

I've gotten into shooting handguns lately, and I read about the excellent ballistic tests that the folks at LuckyGunner.com have done with handgun self-defense ammunition. These tests were quite thorough, and they have done an excellent job of sharing the results. Thank you, Chris Baker and all the other folks at Lucky Gunner.

About the only thing that they didn't share are the muzzle energies, but they gave the mass of the bullets and the muzzle velocities, so the muzzle energies are easily calculated, for anyone willing to manually copy the data into a spreadsheet. I have done the data entry and made the calculations.

I wondered why they didn't include the muzzle energy data, which they surely calculated in their own spreadsheet. I imagine that the reason is that they wanted to de-emphasize muzzle energy in favor of terminal performance. (Their reports do an excellent job of sharing the terminal performance data.) That's all well and good, but I think there is very useful information to be found in comparing muzzle energies of different calibers of ammunition. After all, the only difference between a .38 Special bullet and a .357 Magnum bullet, from the target's point of view, is kinetic energy. So I think something is lost by not sharing and discussing the muzzle energy data, which is why I share the data here.

I do agree that muzzle energy isn't everything, so I'd advise everyone to look at the terminal performance data before choosing their self-defense pistol ammunition. In particular, very light bullets have relatively high muzzle energies but typically show poor terminal performance. For instance, the 50-gr Liberty Ammunition load has the highest muzzle energy of all the 9 mm loads in the tests, but has only 9.6 inches penetration and negligible expansion. (There's a reason that most pistol bullets have lead cores.) Choose carefully, because your life or the life of a loved one might just depend on your choice.

Before sharing the data in mind-numbing tabular format, I'd like to share it as a box and whisker chart. If you're not familiar with this kind of chart, the box shows the "typical" range of muzzle energies for a particular caliber. The Y-axis on the left measures the muzzle energy in Joules. (Sorry, people who prefer foot-pounds. The foot-pound data is in the table at the bottom of the page. 1 J = 0.738 ft-lb.) Data for individual loads are shown as dots.

The muzzle energy of a pistol bullet depends quite a bit on the barrel length. The folks at Lucky Gunner chose barrel lengths that they felt ordinary citizens would most likely carry concealed. For the revolver calibers, they give data for both 2" and 4" barrels. Please do keep in mind that revolver barrel length measurements don't include the chamber, but semi-auto barrel lengths do include the chamber.

OK, here's the chart:

box and whisker plot of muzzle energies of selected handgun ammunition

Sorry about the colors. From left to right, the calibers are .380 ACP, .38 Special - 2", .38 Special - 4", 9 mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum - 2", .357 Magnum - 4", 10 mm Auto, .357 SIG, .327 Federal Magnum - 2", .327 Federal Magnum - 4".

A few conclusions jump out at me when I look at the chart:

.380 ACP is pretty anemic. (Nothing new there.)
.40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .357 Magnum from short barrels have about the same energy.
From longer barrels, .357 Magnum, 10 mm, and .357 SIG are about equal.
From a snub-nosed revolver, .327 Federal Magnum has about the same energy as 9 mm from a short barrel.

One last thing, as an aficionado of the .38 Special, I was a bit disappointed that the folks at Lucky Gunner left out the really hot 158 gr +P loads, such as the Buffalo Bore .38 Special +P 158 gr LSWCHP, which develops about 514 J (379 ft-lb) muzzle energy from a snub-nosed barrel. This load in a snub-nosed .38 Special revolver compares very favorably to 9 mm loads from compact guns. (Hat tip to YouTube's Gun Sam _Revolver Aficionado_. See this video.) I'm sure that there is a price to be paid, in heavy recoil and in accelerated wear to the revolver. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some to see if it's worth carrying for me.

Here's the raw data. I left out the +P+ loads.
