Compare Handgun Ammo

Not to toot our own horn but allowing users to compare handgun ammunition and cartridges is one of the best ideas we've ever had. Some people spend weeks or months comparing data on pistol cartridges trying to make sure the round they are going to choose will get the "job done", and there is just as much misinformation out there in the forums as there is accurate information. There is such a huge need for this utility that it's amazing that someone hasn't created one of these yet.
