If I recall correctly, EC once said:I don't own a .40 because I like women.
I doubt it.I suspect you might see more .357 SIGs if you remove the .4 or bigger rule
A truly great line. All EC's writings are fun to read. And yet the real truth is that the .40 isn't more popular today just because of the "snappiness" of the recoil in primarily smaller, plastic pistols. Almost exactly the opposite of what the "short & weak" crowd would have us believe.If I recall correctly, EC once said:
"The 40 was invented by French women so they would have something to shoot while their husbands cook."
A .40s&w is really not any better of a stopping power than a 9mm, and yes the rounds are more expensive.
If you don't feel a 9mm is enough stopping power for you, the best from a ballistic stand point in a semi automatic is 10mm
Only thing my Golden Retriever ever bit was the dining room furniture, the wall baseboards, the new couch, the recliner, every single shoe (about 25 pairs) my Sicilian wife had in her closet ("WTF??? GET THIS F*CKIN DOG OUTTA HERE.. NOW!!!") etc etc etc..For the same reason that golden retrievers bite so many people.

All the statistics I've seen show that there is very little difference between cartridges in shots to end the confrontation. Where the hole is is far more important than how big it is. Shoot what you are accurate with, especially on the 2nd and 3rd shots.A .40s&w is really not any better of a stopping power than a 9mm, and yes the rounds are more expensive.
,45 - One and done. Period.
With the improvement of 9mm defensive ammunition, people feel that the 9mm Is equal to the forty, but haven't the same I was improvements made to the .40? Example Federal HST. I use a Ruger SR40C and I'll argue my accuracy is pretty good.

Why bother with .45ACP when you have .30-06? One of the reasons why I never cared about pistol caliber wars was the fact that a .30-06 or a .45-70 will destroy a target. The point of a carry pistol/HD pistol is to get to a rifle and then use that.

You're not supposed to know that! Stop bringing logic into my trolling!That's a Star Modelo Super B 9mm and not a 1911
.38 I suspect you might see more .357 SIGs if you remove the .4 or bigger rule however it'd have .40 S&W mag sizes with a .357" bullet but a little more power than a 9x19.
The 10mm out performs the .45acp all day every day
Total babe. I'm just wondering if that was a total photoshop, or how that picture came to be.
Supposedly it was during some sort of zombie movie shoot. Just a funny between takes photo
