In order to have a "real world" comparison, we used pistols from our personal collections to provide an additional data point for the ammunition tested.  Below you will find a link either to a manufacturer's website or to Wikipedia (when the older pistols were no longer available at a manufacturer's site) about the make and model number of the pistol cited.  And remember, as is stated on the homepage:  "One note:    in every case with the T/C Encore the length of the barrel was measured from the end of the barrel back to the breech face.  This is how semi-auto pistols are measured, but revolvers are measured as the length of the barrel in front of the cylinder gap.  Take this into consideration when comparing calibers using our numbers."
