Why don't you use .45? Too big for you?

because it's only a handgun round.

Physics.

>>34798627

Personally because I conceal carry and tend to go for smaller guns.

That being said, I'm a big guy and I can barely feel the difference between 9mm and .45, when it comes to .357 mags I'll feel the difference.

Especially Federals for some reason. Shits loaded HOT

>>34798627
more expensive than 9mm and fewer rounds per mag

In the year of 2017, with modern technology, why the fuck do people go with anything other than 9mm JHP for CC/general defense with handguns? Why the fuck wont the muh stopping power meme die?

>>34799895
because "muh ww1 caliber"

>>34799851
>I'm a big guy and I can barely feel the difference between 9mm and .45,
Fellow big guy(for you) and I found the .45 to a tiny bit more comfy, otherwise I don't notice the difference and like shooting them both. I'm getting my CCL soon and I think i'll pick up a G30 or something, my other .45 is too bulky.

Outdated design; big bullet with thin case means getting it to lethal velocities is a hassle.

>>34800011
Precisely. And one of those calibers is far cheaper and more widely available than all the others.

Wanna take a guess at which one that is?

>>34800000
VERY nice quints, .357 Sig is confirmed best caliber, Sig needs to drop (please don't literally drop) making guns and devote themselves to making .357 Sig the future.

>>34799956
40 is the goat

I actually prefer the .40 S&W, the .45 ACP is a excellent SD round though and I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

>>34798627
because .22's rimfire is unreliable
Because .380 is a weird number
Because .40 is too snappy

Because shot placement is more important than bullet diameter.

Because 9mm JHP with a 12/17 capacity is adequate compared to 8-10-12 in .45

and because .50 African Eliminator is too expensive per round.

Because my penis is big enough and I'm not worried about it.

>>34800107
ok sparky, whats the difference? they all penetrated more than 12", but without other inches marked so we can get some scale, we have no idea how much further ones are going than others. given the relative distance, i'd say we're talking less than an inch difference.

but feel free to come up with a better image that isnt as retarded as the person posting it

>>34800053
How accurate is the statement that .40SW is nearly as powerful as .45ACP and has substantially more favorable handling characteristics in terms of capacity and grip size?

.380 acp casing is the same diameter as 9mm and same diameter as .38 spl and .357 mag. just for historical reasons calibers sometimes refer to bullet diameter and sometimes to casing because fuck numbers.

Depending on the layout of your house, a handgun is a much better option because it's far easier to navigate tight confines with than a long-gun. It doesn't matter how big a hole that shotgun is gonna leave if you can't aim it at the dude.

.380 is also referred to as 9mm short or 9mm kurz etc, it is the same diameter as 9mm just shorter hence the name.

>>34801848

I know three shots probably isn't that critical a difference, but you'd think extra capacity would be achievable just by it being shorter

Love how .45 ACP expansion is only beaten by sig .357 and the penetration is greater than the 9mm 124 gr, the .357 sig, and the .40 short and weak 165 gr.
9mm fags eternally BTFO

>>34805832
Also love how every single modern bullet tested regardless of caliber or powder load met the FBI's standards by penetrating at least 12", rendering all of this autistic shit flinging completely meaningless.

After all that the only meaningful variable is price, and the winner for that contest happens to be 9mm.

One or two to the chest from a shotgun and there is no need to reload. But depending on the size of your house a handgun can definitely be better.

I know I can't maneuver a shotgun well in my Los Angeles apartment so I have to use a handgun... keyword is HAVE TO.
