Handgun Ballistics Chart

December 21, 2022 By GunnersDen

Handgun ballistics chart
The full chart is below.

The below handgun ballistics chart will give true caliber and diameter of handgun cartridge bullet weight measured in grains, velocity measured in feet per second, energy measured in foot pounds–which also is a good indicator of handgun stopping power, and bullet trajectory measured in inches for the more popular handgun cartridges, (factory ammunition).

This handgun ballistics chart gives a good, reliable comparison of handgun cartridge ballistics. We have recently updated it to be more friendly on different size screens.

We plan to add to this ballistics chart as necessary.

Also, any links on any of the calibers themselves (inside the chart) should take you to a more in-depth summary of that caliber. This will be getting updated more as I have time. It’s our goal to provide as much detail as possible.

The information in this chart itself is just meant to be used as a comparison.

The table can be scrolled to the left and right on smaller touch screens and is setup to be mobile friendly. You can use your arrows to go down, right, left, and back up again if on a computer after clicking the table with your mouse.

If you see anything that looks off, please let us know. We do the best we can, but are obviously humans. Sometimes, believe it or not, I make typos as I sit down and spend hours upon hours entering information and numbers into the ballistics table.

Also, we’re adding another feature in that the table shown is actually a scaled down version of the original chart. The chart was too massive and went off screen. I was actually getting dinged by the search engines for it, so we had to show this scaled down, yet still huge, ballistics chart.

I plan to add the ability to show you the original one in a PDF or download so you can see the entire thing. Stay tuned for that, but this stuff takes time. Since I’m a one man show, it takes a lot of it.
