I'm no expert, but maybe a concern for an adjacent apartment, not sure how realistic that is for standalone houses.

Also wouldn't hollow points further reduce likelihood of continuing through multiple walls?

And I've more heard the opposite: that 9mm doesn't have enough stopping power for self defense.

I can put my fist through a dry wall, surely a bullet isn't a problem?

Yes but how many layers of dry-wall before it loses velocity?

And the theory I've heard with high-speed rounds (like AR-15 s which shoot a tiny bullet very fast) is that the bullet fragments on impact and therefore doesn't penetrate as readily as a heavy, slightly slower bullet

Didn't know we were doing multiple dry walls, proceed. :3
