How is that, in that little hand cannon. Pretty good shootin, what was the distance.
I had some 185 swc's that a buddy gave me a few years back, but I believe I've already sent them all down range.
I know I was loading them with some Red dot.

Yes about 15 ft and easy to shoot with one hand. I loaded some with Red Dot but like the Unique better. Penetration was full 16 inch in the Clear Ballistic block and hitting the backup block! Think it would do the job of making a hole!

They should put a pull pin like on a grenade as a safety behind the trigger. Pull the pin... point at some direction of target...close eyes....pull and BANG ...hurt...hurt on both ends!
