Is it just me or, is .40 cal the top dog versus 9 or 45

What about the .357 SIG?

It's fun, that's for sure. I had one with a 4.5" barrel and it would spit out huge fireballs. My guess is it needs a much longer barrel to really get the advertised velocities.

44 mag for the win.

45-70 is boss but capacity is low. If you have multiple assailants you will have to ask them to line up so you can get a through and through and through and...I digress.

As for 40 cal vs others, I chose 9mm a long time ago for ammo capacity and compact size of pistols.

Learn to run like a brother being chased by the police..
Sigh and lear to reload on the run

A lot of "downloaded" ammo is available, but mid/full power is available as well...Gets you about .40 equivalent on the low-end to approaching .357 mag energy on the high-end.

Also, can most definately be a bit more challenging for small hands.

I am wondering what type of loading the FBI used then for 10mm. Thanks for sharing

9mm kills the body.
45ACP kills the soul.

I read it on the interweb so it must be true

Glock 9mm & .40 are same size.

If I had to guess, I presume it was what I consider full power 10mm now, that most off the shelf now aren't.

Thats what I am guessing too

 

[sucker76]

I was meaning for compact size over 45 and ammo capacity over both. Sorry I wasn't to clear.

Probably a 180gr pill moving around 1,250 would be my guess for the standard 10mm load. I am an Underwood supporter, but that new Sig Sauer ammo is much cheaper and on the shelves at Academy. In my short experience with it it seems to be more of real 10mm load compared to others. I would recommend to anyone who isnt hand loading for 10mm to pick up a box.

Also I am guessing if someone is a cheap bastard(aka me) they shouldnt bother getting into 10mm if they only ever plan on buying off the shelf loads?

Unless you are getting .50 AE I would just stick with 9mm.

Makes sense if you're a Glock fan.............

I'll pass.....

Yes, that & Buffalo Bore.
Probably something else I am forgetting.

You are correct about the Sig Sauer, that is why in post #34 I mentioned there is an exception or two.

Yeah... The best off the shelf 10mm loads that are common are SIG's, and they are like 275% the price of WWB 9mm.

 

[deemus]

Sometimes I wonder if I should get a .40 hand gun. Your thoughts?

You sir are on to something. Go 40 or go home....
