RIP 9mm round

[theorangeguy]

so I tried ordering some and they are back ordered...no shocker there.

How come you shoot .45acp? Are you too girly for a magnum round? .44 mag FTW

I also own a S&W 629 6.5 in polished nickel. Big boom, big kick, lots of fun.

I want a box.

I want a box.

I still cant get my hands on them...i've tried 3 times and gave up for a little while.

Speaking of boxes...

Does anyone here have a lock box for a handgun that gets bolted into a vehicle? If so, care to send me some links to a few good ones?

cheaper than dirt has several portable and car specific that are surprising very affordable.


Gun Lock Box

It's crap ammo. The "trocar's" barely penetrate 3" in 10% calibrated ballistic gel and the remaining bullet creates a tiny wound channel that barely makes 12".

As far as 9 vs. .40 vs. .45, with modern HP designs like Fed HST, Ranger T & B, Gold Dots, Barnes XPB, they all perform similarly.

[theorangeguy]

LOL a .22 had the same impact...........? WOW!

I don't really see this as being any better or different than the Black Talon fiasco that took place years back. When I lived in Atlanta I had my CCW and packed around a Springfield XD .45 ACP loaded with 14 +P HP rounds. If that is not enough power to stop an aggressor then there really wasn't any hope for me to begin with. I personally believe that the arguments of needing to change mags less often are moot because if you can't hit something without emptying multiple mags then you need to spend more time at the range practicing. Just my two bits on the matter.

This has been discussed here in the past. When you're at the range, you do not have someone shooting back at you. When you do, your accuracy drops dramatically.

It's a bit different as the Black Talons were effective, and have since evolved into the Winchester Ranger T. As far as spare mags go, besides value against multiple attackers, the are valuable insurance against mag related malfunctions.

this.

Whole lotta people out there that should read up on what the average hit percentages are in gunfights, and from people that are (in many cases) far better trained and/or practiced than anyone on here. Drawing smiley faces on paper targets at a range doesn't mean jack shit
