Well now, this is entertaining...

I could only see this as being usefull to keep with a rifle in case you ran out of normal handgun ammo and needed a backup (though, why would you run out of handgun ammo first if you have a rifle available?).
It looks like all of the ammo they shot was keyholing immediately with velocities between 900-1100fps. I'd be interested in seeing the effects of a slow moving tumbling bullet. Basically, it'd be similar to a hit at 600yds (except with less stability)...so I doubt it would be stand up against a modern handgun bullet designed for those velocities (.380/9mm/etc.).
Heck, that's quite a bit worse performance than our much maligned 5.7x28.
