I won't copy his findings but suggest that you follow the link and read the original report.

Mouse Gun Ballistic Testing At Recent Rangemaster Tactical Conference (USA)

However - Greg's closing comment is noteworthy:

"Maybe we shouldn’t be arguing so much about caliber and bullet performance when there really isn’t much difference between carry loads.  If you are carrying a .38 snub or a sub-caliber pistol. pick the load that is most reliable, accurate, and controllable in your particular carry gun.  The bullets probably won’t expand.  Rely on good shot placement instead of magical bullet construction to stop your attacker."
