I took a 120 whitetail this year with my S&W M&P40 using 165 grain Hydrashocks, distance was only 15 yards. Bullet passed between two ribs, through the very tip of the heart, and exited the center of another rib. Deer didn't go far, delicious! I also took a rabbit with that pistol a couple weeks ago, also delicious.
If you play around with some ballistic calculators, like this one
http://www.handloads.com/calc/ , you'll find that the average 1050 fps I get from that load with that pistol, the carbine, which shoots it a little over 1150, would have the same velocity at about 55 yards. More playing shows 70-80 yards being the maximum distance before the bullet plummets.
Doubletap sells some awesome loads for 40S&W, like the controlled expansion 200 grain at 1050fps from a glock 23. Say that went 1150 out of a 4095, you are looking at the same energy I shot my deer at 15 to be around 150 yards. That distance would be ridiculous to attempt, with the arch.
They also have a 135 grain that goes 1375 from a glock 23, so say 1475 out of the 4095, you're looking at about 1.5" high at 45 yards and about 1.7" low at 95 yards.
Anyhow, I've shot thier 200 grain lead cast bullet out of my 4095 at an average of 1200 fps from my CHRONY chronograph. This load gave me 3, 1.5", 5 shot groups at 50 yards rested on a tree one day.
