but carry a57-round snubby, chambered in 357 mag, with a2-1/2"3"-barrel.
I have 6.5 manbun. I like the round........You are taking all the fun out of this thread. Do you shoot Creedmoor also?
And I like .380 in a Colt Mustang and .38+P in my snubby.
What about the new IRS assassins?
I want to neck down a 45 case to 40...
You do know 9mm is older than 38, 40, 45. If "Two world wars" are old, then 9mm is ancient. Who's old and incapable of accepting anything new, eh?Lots of older people and FUDDs have just stuck with what they know
I do. I didn't say when it ran the race. Just that it was one of the top finishers. But, point taken.You do know 9mm is older than 38, 40, 45. If "Two world wars" are old, then 9mm is ancient. Who's old and incapable of accepting anything new, eh?
Is he married to your brother? Sorry too easy. You'll be able to sell it to the new "glock collectors " for big bucks some dayMy brother in law bought a Glock 23 in about 1992 or so. Shooting was never his thing so he sold it to me for $250. I have to admit, I like it. It’s accurate, reliable, powerful, and easy to conceal. I carry it fairly often.
Don’t think for a second that this means I don’t own, carry, and appreciate other weapons. I love the back and forth on this too.
You are quick, I’ll give you that. Funny as hell too.Is he married to your brother? Sorry too easy. You'll be able to sell it to the new "glock collectors " for big bucks some day

I’ve got to have it !!!!?!?!!!Well, if you insist:
400 Cor-Bon
I do recall coming on here early in my NES time and asking if a tungsten guide rod and replacement spring would actually reduce muzzle flip noticeably in a .40s&w and being laughed out of town. Since then I do my best to only contribute off color humor and bad advice to slowly bring NES down from the inside.

Saving money was their main driving force.So basically all the rabid 9mm fans are extolling the virtues of the FBI's skinflinting initiative?
The FBI switched from 40 to 9mm in large part because of the volume of ammo used by field agents and the entirety of the FBI during training etc. For an organization with approximately 35,000 employees, the vast majority of whom need firearms training the cost savings using 9mm is huge.
If you ask a question on the web, out of 10 answers, 7 will be snarky and nasty. 2 jokes, and 1 useful. Ignore the 7, laugh at the 2, and learn from the 1.There are dozens of us
I shoot limited major so I reload 40 so it just made sense for my home defense/carry gun to be in 40. Just adjust my OAL setting and powder and crank out training ammo for my HD gun or my competition gun depending on the day.
It’s a relatively popular caliber in the action shooting sports (USPSA). In the Limited division.
Companies like Atlas Gunworks making some of their guns in .40 and they cost $5k plus.

Anyway, enough with the serious talk. Beyond the competition world, it’s ghey I guess?

Even cheaper if you cast.Saving money was their main driving force.
Ironically a box of Gold Dot hollow points 9mm is around $35 and 40 Gold Dot hollow points is $25.
So the savings has gone away with the demand.
Also, get set up to reload and all of your training ammo is less than 25 cents per round. Pretty much pays for itself after a few range trips.

Wouldn't that be 10mm GAP ? I actually wouldn't mind trying that. But, the velocities better be good enough to buy another gun. Because the .40 guns out there wouldn't be able to take it. They already get cracksThe 40 caliber by S&W will be rebranded/reimagined/relaunched as 10mm Kurz by H&K and then it will be a the 'hot' caliber again.
The only thing it has going for it vs. modern 9mm ammunition, compared to when it was first introduced, is marginally better penetration of car doors and laminated glazing like automotive windshields. This is why some highway patrols stuck with .40 S&W due to their frequency of having shootouts with people using stopped cars as cover. For anyone else there's not a compelling reason to use .40S&W.
.357 Sig was the original special caliber attempt for autoloaders to sell to the highway patrol market (Texas or the CHIP requested the development). .40 S&W only became a thing because of the FBI setting a standard the rest of law enforcement followed like lemmings.Wouldn't that be 10mm GAP ?

In magazine restricted states, you can carry 10 rounds of a more capable round vs 10 of 9mm.
