Comment on Social Networking with Guns! by Best Handguns

I think this is probably a good idea. Since I rarely have much comment to posts on Facebook due to the overwhelming uselessness of activity going on. A firearms or outdoor sports focused social network would be worth keeping up with (as long as no one asks me to join Farmville or some other waste of time).

Also, the fact that ‘hoop stress’ makes the smaller-diameter 9 Para cartridge less likely to ‘kaBoom!’ than the equal-pressure .40.

A few months ago, here in South Carolina, a police officer confronted a robber outide a convenience store. The cop and the robber both unloaded their handguns at each other from 10 feet. Neither hit the other even once. The robber needed a new pair of pants though. The point is that people do strange things when under an adrenaline dump. If my accuracy is severly impaired under stress, I would rather have a higher capacity handgun than a larger caliber.

Comment on Is 9mm really less effective than .45 ACP? by Unknown

I say that it does not matter what kind of caliber, but the skill of the shooter + the gun. If a highly trained individual is given a very low caliber weapon (.22 for ex.) and your average Joe is given a large, highly powerful weapon (.44 Magnum for ex.) I believe that they should be able to eliminate the threat of a person with an intent to kill in equal times, IF they are at the perfect range, IF they manage to pull the trigger in a rapid manner, and IF they manage to land a high percentage of rounds, then I believe it should not matter even if you are given a knife, as long as you know how to use it effectively.

Hi guys. There are some real good comments on here. Within the disagreements and arguments the real facts manifest themselves. Here is my 2 cents in a nutshell. Higher capacity equates to more firepower. While there is no argument that scientifically the .45 is bigger than the 9mm and dumps more energy it is also logical to assume that the 9mm can be fired faster and more accurately by the majority of shooters. Consider two 9mm hits in close proximity equating to an 18mm projectile or similar. Clearly stepping outside of the semantics of the argument it is also logical to assume that the human body is not designed to accomodate ANY penetration of a metallic projectile and ALL bullets have the intended purpose of causing damage. Modern 9mm JHP ammunition has been shown to close the gap rather effectively against the 230gr .45. IS the .45 better? that probably depends on a case by case basis. It is far worse than a 9mm if it misses its target when the 9mm finds its mark, and the converse is true of course. The one shot stop equation is also mostly fodder for argument as well because who is gonna shoot just once. If the BG has earned getting shot he has earned getting the whole magazine delivered to him in haste. Maybe the firepower is the ticket in that regard. Does 3 well placed 9mms outperform 2 poorly placed .45s? Does 3 adequately placed .45s out perform 6 outstandingly placed 9mms. Just some thoughts to chew on i reckon. I carry .45 and 9mm, maybe we should all just carry .40S&W so we can all get along… You know who is laughing at us all right now? The 12 gauge.

thank you Robert for your clear concise understanding and explanation i am in total agreement while the .40 and .45 are more expensive to buy and shoot when it comes to lie (the reason we carry) a few more bucks is more than worth it i look at my .40 as insurance i dont want the cheap policy i want the policy that is gonna work quick fast and in a hurry and being that i go to the range often and my patterns are fairly decent at 10′ it doesn’t matter bc real life situations are never like the well lit straight forward highlighted target at the range people 9mm are fun but .40s mean business and when your life counts on it you dont want a fun gun
