Will any handgun bullets penetrate a kevlar bullet-proof vest?

Some background---I own my own convenience store and am thinking about buying a vest for protection. I keep a taurus model 85 .38 special revolver under the counter. I realize rifle bullets can penetrate such a vest but it is unlikely I would be robbed by someone with a rifle---not out of the question, but unlikely. So are there any handgun rounds I would need to worry about? I know a FMJ 9mm has high penetration. Could it go thru a bullet-proof vest? Or am I ok? Are there any handgun rounds at all which could penetrate a kevlar vest?
