Most of the writing that I've seen on the subject stated a goal of 15-18 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin. I'm not in LE so I look at 15" as an ideal and anything over 16" as excessive. But as I've said before the 10mm with a heavy "hunting" projectile makes a near ideal choice for a woods sidearm almost anywhere short of Alaska. I don't know if you caught the episode where the Nuge took down an enormous wounded bore from about 50yds with a Glock.
