You faggots will argue over anything

which caliber is better?

>inb4 wrong thread
>inb4 OP can't inb4
>>
They're all awesome rounds. I personally prefer 9mm and .40 cal for my every day carry.

9mm luger has a longer name and is therefore better

.45 is the best. There is no need to argue.

>>724509878

9mm honestly is the easiest to come by but different calibers for different situations and all that jazz. I like .40 personally, weight reduction in the pack without compromising stopping power.
>>
>>724509878
Have all three. I love the things that all three do. Doesn't matter.
>>
.22 is the best hands down
>>
>>724510227
Agreed. I would 100% choose 40 everytime ifor the ammo was cheaper.

I carry .45 because of its stopping power and I love my 1911.
.40 is probably more practical, and for the most part has the same kind of knockdown power.

What about .357sig???
>>
>>724509878

Put your Glock down and slowly back away... you want a revolver and .38 Special. Accuracy is more important than single-round damage. If you're dealing with niggers, go with .44 Special.

Handguns chambered in 9mm usually have greater magazine capacity due to the smaller size of the cartridge. Those extra 2-4 rounds can save your damn life. 9mm can kill or at least debilitate your target with a hit to the torso. The difference in power between .40, .45 and 9mm is not night and day.

9mm, 45, ................40 in that order. 9mm beats 45 for velocity and capacity. 45 has an edge on bullet weight and diameter. 40 does not shine in either light.

Pic related. Carry pistols in 9mm fun to shoot in 45 and a couple .22 plinkers. 357 for that dirty Harry.

.45ACP obvi
>>
>>724511645
Larger caliber rounds aren't usually hot loaded like smaller rounds are.

Smaller calibers are usually loaded with more powder to increase muzzle velocity and impact energy to compensate for lower bullett mass.

So a big, heavy 45 has lower muzzle torque than a 9mm +p, or +p+ load. The gun itself is also larger and heavier, so it absorbs recoil better.

This is why the M1911 was the prefered sidearm of the US military for over 70 years.

>>724513679
The US switched to 9mm purely for interoperability with other NATO forces. Makes supply chains much less vulnerable to disruption if you can get ammo from any partner.

>>724513759
The 45 has a much larger wound channel, and higher shock/trauma than a 9mm, but the (usually) lower velocity of the round means the impact energy is about the same.

A 45 transfers more energy into the target, though. Not enough to knock down a charging assailant, but enough to break bones with a nearby flesh wound, which can have the same effect.

If you're going to be shooting someone you're going to be putting 3 rounds into the person regardless.

a 9mm kicks less and holds twice as much before needing to reload.

Steven Crowder once made a comment to have a firearm that uses a larger caliber because you can take someone down with less shots, and typically a jury doesn't understand calibers so 2 shots with a .40 versus 7 with a 9mm can help you make a case for self defense

Actually, the 223 round was NOT designed to be a killer. When it was developed, the idea was to create a debilitating, but not always deadly, wound in opposing force members. A live wounded soldier needs evac and meds. This reduces opfor resources more than a simpke dead soldier does.

Of course, when it was tried in Vietnam, they learned that the VC would just leave wounded behind, sometimes with a booby trap, so it didn't work out as well as was hoped.

> Accuracy

> Sidearm

You're dumb. Only 3-gun shooters give half a cunt hair's a fuck about true platform precision from their sidearms. Most people only need "minute of bad guy" accuracy, which is not hard to come by.

Beyond that, 9mm still wins over most revolver cartridges due to better ballistic coefficient, which means better energy transfer.

9mm has light recoil, a wide variety of options, the best coefficient of every pistol caliber in existence (save for those weird 6.8mm ww1 Italian cartridges), and has the longest practical reach while being an effective, versatile cartridge at all applicable ranges.

There's a reason every major police force and military has switched to, or is switching to, 9mm.

For general purpose, 9mm beats .40 S&W. The FBI had switched from 9mm to .40S&W rounds for ~15 years before switching back after research determined the 9mm had more stopping power.

As for the .45ACP, its only real use is big game hunting/defense. .357 can take out smaller, weaker bears with well placed shots but you run the risk of non-fatally wounding them and sending them into a frenzy. If a gun is your best defense, anything less than .44 caliber won't cut it.

If you go to Canada though, you're going to need a rifle to kill any bear you meet.

9mm is cheaper
9mm has more cap
9mm is more abundant
9mm has same stopping power as .45 in JHP
9mm has way less recoil = better accuracy.
>>
>>724518651
The reason they all like 9mm is lighter carry weight and higher mag capacity. Thats all. They like Glocks because its an auto that shoots like a revolver, ie dead simple point and click.

Thats really all there is to it. 9mm has some disadvantages, like overpenetration with hot loads, less shock/trauma, that are overlooked in favor of lighter carry. Remember, the average cop almost never draws his weapon and never really wants to. Cops are usually shit shooters. The gun is just more heavy shit to carry, to most of them.

5.56 is an incredibly weak round IMHO.

Shooting my 10" AR500 gong (.375" thick) it barely makes a mark with 55gr. FMJ, my .22-250 with 40gr. hollow points will punch through second shot. A lot of states will not allow deer hunters to use .22-250 because of "lack of stopping power".

TL;DR
.22-250 > 5.56 and can't use a .22-250 to hunt a <150lb deer but .5.56 is "incredibly lethal", lol, OKAY.
>>
>>724519840
this guy is utterly full of shit.

.40 > greater energy and penetration vs 9mm. .357 sig = hot 9mm, but .40 capacity.

really, just full of shit in general.

big difference between dangerous game (bears) and man (niggers).

Dangerous game = 10mm and up

men = 9mm

What to inquire?

They're all good rounds. Each having it's own pros and cons. It all depends on shot placement especially.

Want to disable/incapacitate? aim for arms and legs.

Want to kill? aim for vitals, either slightly right or left from the center chest area, aim for the throat, or aim at their head.

If you're hunting game, then handgun calibers isn't the best option for that.

People do not "walk off" 5.56 hits, they're carried off to seek medical treatment, that's the point.
.22-250 has way more power than a 5.56 and you can't hunt a small deer with a .22-250 in a lot of states as it's not powerful enough. Thinking a 5.56 is a deadly round is just ignorant.

>>724521075
A 5.56 certainly can kill you if it hits you right, no question about it, any bullet will.

But it wasn't -designed- to kill you. This is what we were taught at Armorer School in the US Army. It was designed to wound more than kill, for the logistics reasons mentioned by others.

When you wound a soldier, his Battle Buddy and a Medic will have to tend to him. That's three soldiers out of the battle.

When you kill a soldier, you only take one out.

Do the math.

>A smaller faster round transfers less energy into a target.
>There's a reason .458 is on the low end of acceptable rounds for killing an elephant

you're not really correct there. smaller faster round can transfer plenty of energy. But, when you're talking about large dangerous game, you also need penetration. Hence, the ~1,300 ft/lbs from a 5.56 isn't sufficient on targets with a deeper cross section.

Has the recoil of 9mm, but the power is almost double the 9mm.

Mine is 1700 fps at 650ft lbs of energy

Smaller faster rounds are better for penetration alone and that's the problem. A .17HMR is a 20 grain bullet that can penetrate class III body armor but that means it'll just laser right through someone

Well, if you ask a cop or doctor, they'll tell you 22lr tends to kill a lot more people than heavy calibers.

truth be known ball bats kill more people than guns, knifes combined

>>724522259
I have a lot of ammo now, but only because I keep buying it fairly regularly. a box here and there add up pretty quickly.

Dry fire practice is your friend. Live fire is for testing what you learn in dry fire practice.

I'm taking this as you don't even know what your "sick diss" was supposed to mean.

how pricey is that sig ammo?

>>724522577
probably a liberal who thinks they know a thing or two of physics. no surprise anyway.

These anti-Trumpers are still really upset. They have massive inferiority complexes and injure pretty easily.

He means KKK hood but he's not funny or clever. It still doesn't really mean anything except "I'm 12"
