Not trying to rekindle the 9mm vs. .45 debate but this was interesting

[Dave Nowlin]

I had an interesting conversation with Kevin at Underwood Ammo the other day.  He has a +P+ loading with 124 grain Gold Dots that is rated at 1,300 fps from a Glock 19.  I asked what pressure those loads are running and he said they have been tested at 39,500 psi.  There are several law enforcement agencies which use the Winchester Ranger T 127 grain +P+ loading.  It tests 100 fps slower.  This loading challenges the .357 Sig.  It really helps to level the playing field.  Flatter shooting and more capacity.

9mm kills the body 45 kills the soul FACT !!!!!  :lol:

Here in the Memphis area a 40 is what alot of people drink. :yum:

Many in memphis prefer a quart of Colt 45.

But the .40 is a perfect medium. ..Oops, fuel on the fire for a debate? :rofl:

 

The .41 AE was the perfect combination....................................................for ME!  12 rds. of 210 gr. at my disposal.

 

Let the debate continue >>>>>>>>>>>>>

A miss with a .22 is equal to a miss with .44 mag.

 

I'll very likely duck for cover after the first 240 gr. whizzes past me. But a 40 gr. zipping passed is just going to give me an excuse to unleash holy hell on someone.

If cover is available then I'm ducking either way.  I don't want to be shot with anything.  Ever.  Period.

Everyone reacts differently and it could vary widely with time and circumstance, but I believe the best course of action when a 22 or .25 ACP round whizzes by is to get proactive IF armed with more serious firepower. Maybe I have a shorter fuse than most but I take getting shot at, or for that matter even pointing a gun my way, personal. I subscribe to the theory, He who hesitates might end up dead.  Just my way. To each his own.

I'm tired of settling for handgun ammo for the sake of concealability. Call me when Taurus comes out with a 12 gauge version of the Judge. I'll figure out a way to conceal it.
