fuck this shit you nigger
9mm has the same wound pattern gives you better shot placement and has better penetration 9mm is unironically better

The only relevant handgun cartridges are 22, 9mm, and 44 mag. 44 mag/ special for all of your outdoor hunting/protection needs, 9mm for carry, and 22 for plinking. 380 or 38 special is acceptable for pocket/ backup pistols. All the other calibers are fine for range use/ competition (muh power factors yo!) but aren't really relevant.

We're talking about people not bears hear. you shot placement fags no so little anatomy it's hilarious. Penetrating an extra 1-2" of back fat and skin isn't going to contribute meaningfully to incapacitation.

>MARIGNAL WOUND PATTERN DIFFERENCE
You type like a retard. that is not what wound pattern means and the difference is hardly marginal. Pic related.

>has better penetration 9mm is unironically better
9mm is unironically better at killing gel blocks. Ask anybody who cuts people open for a living and you'll get a different answer. Turns out that the testing medium that's only been proven to simulate hard tissue doesn't simulate what happens when bone gets hit.

What a surprise.

.44 Mag is for revolvers and revolvers only, which have their own considerations for cartridges.

10mm will do everything .44 mag does and it does it out of a semi auto.

.357 Sig is a pointless snowflake caliber that would be better named 9mm Fat Magnum. 10mm is superior.

Hold on faggot

44 magnum > 10mm
It's not even worth arguing about. Even with underwood (whose ammo is usually the culprit for kBed G20s) the numbers simply don't even compare. 10mm from a g20 is equivalent to a 41 mag out of a 4 inch barrel in loads under 200 grains.

>Buffalo Bore type 10mm is BARELY capable of reaching the type of performance that normal .357 Magnum gives.
Not him but lol no. underwood 10mm and underwood .357 are fairly comparable

135gr @ 1600fps vs 125gr @1600fps
180gr@ 1250 vs 180gr @ 1300

.357 has a miniscule edge with heavy bullets and 10mm does the same with light. The difference in surface area probably means that they'll be slightly better at different tasks as well. IMHO .357 has a slight edge for deeper reliable pen and 10mm has a slight edge for quick energy transfer.

>10mm is nowhere fucking close to .44 you loony toon motherfucker.
They definitely aren't the same. .44 wins that fight hands down.
>>
>>35023770
whoops, accidentally'd the 200gr numbers for 10mm instead of 180.

180gr 10mm is 1300 fps, the same as 180gr .357 mag.
>>
>>35022864
>>
>>35023644

Not talking about energy you cock goblins.

10mm can be used in the same large game hunting applications that .44 can if you're the kind of mouth breathing redneck shit for brains that hunts with a handgun.

10mm is just as effective at woodland defense against dangerous animals, especially when accounting for a more easily carried firearm that can provide faster follow up shots with a larger capacity.
>>
>>35023942
Didnt touch the whole "which is better for hunting/woodland defense" thing for a reason.

That being said, the .44 mag can offer ~60% more energy at the same weight and utilize significantly heavier rounds than the 10mm.

Everything else being equal it sure sounds better round per round to me.

Spose which is better in reality depends on whether 10mm is good enough for your uses or not and if having extra capacity means anything to you. Not being a big game hunter I can't really speak to the first part, and living outside of brown bear territory and near one of americas murder capitals the second part sure does sound nice.

IMHO sounds a lot like the 45 or maybe .357 vs 9mm argument, but applied to bears

As is the appearance if you don't instantly swallow the MSM talking points.

Read the details on manufacturers websites. You can try asking gunstore clerks but they tend to be poorly informed on many subjects.

Owner manuals will usually say also. If it doesnt say rated for +p, don't assume it is. And if its your first gun anyway, worry about getting the basics down with standard loads first. Flinching is harder to unlearn than to not develop in the first place.

But that's wrong. A standard pressure fmj round of 45 will penetrate deeper than 9mm.

>>35022984

But that's wrong, you can buy ammunition in either to get whatever penetration you'd like within the caliber's limits having varying amounts of expansion starting and ending at different depths. 45's upper limit is higher than 9mm.

>>35022952

Lol.

>>35023132

I'd trust 10mm or even flat nosed 40s&w for outdoors use

>>35023192

>Better penetration

Well if you don't care about collateral damage I'd rather the round pass out the other side and bleed them out faster. There's definitely a trade off point between penetration and expansion where wasted energy matters though.

>gel blocks

Yeah, you're right, it's meant to simulate a sternum for first 2-4 inches and soft tissue for the rest. It's still a great testing method even though t doesn't show bone deflection.

>>35023311

>10mm will do everything 44 magnum will do

It most certainly will not. It's adequate for a lot of the things 44 mag is commonly used for though.

>>35023770

You got it down on 357 vs 10mm. On some nicer 357s you can more safely over pressure your loads but before and after that they're not significantly different enough to matter. I like you.

>Yeah, you're right, it's meant to simulate a sternum for first 2-4 inches and soft tissue for the rest.
Yea, never understood the confusion about the whole "lol nobody is 12-18" thick argument.

IIRC the low end is literally 9"(average chest width) plus 3" for average forearm width to account for the fact that rounds often have to pass through them in gunfights before hitting the chest. 18" is an arm plus a quartering away shot through the chest and adding another 3" for the holding in effect of the back skin.

Not sure how these numbers hold up with bone involved though, the study used for validating BG as a medium compared gel shots to results from OIS incidents(guy was LEO with morgue access). Funny thing is the study, wolberg relevancy of BG if you haven't read it, specifically excluded all shots that hit bone.

Really gets the old noggin joggin. OTOH LEOs and those with LEO access seem to be pretty happy with the way rounds that perform well in gel perform in real life.

Questions is just how much to trust people who are very vested professionally in the matter and refuse to provide conclusive data to the public. Wouldn't exactly be the first time the feds were caught promoting bunk science to the public and other leos either...

>>
>>35030028

I love finding smart, studied people on /k/. All I have to offer from what you already know are opinions on what Ive read and seen.

I think that there isn't a refusal to give conclusive data because the data they have isn't that. Right now at least, I think gel stanards alone will be accurate enough not to be bothered much by bone and still get reliable, lethal results in most situations but I'd lean more toward 15 inch minimum depth. That depth tells me it still has enough momentum not to deflect excessively and not expand too rapidly to have issue penetrating if it left the arm and went toward a rib. If you hit rib, it's still going through and you're still getting some lung damage in and either way it wouldn't likely be an instant stop hitting lungs at any level of penetrating unless we were talking some postol rounds that might have thrown rib shards into the spine. Mostly for other anons reading now, I know you know and that we were just talking general deflection and what it does with expansion anon, there's a lot of variables involved between hitting one specific person's ribs, their forearm, their meat, their organs, or their clothes, what specific angle they were hit at, and what bullet was used at what speed. Different rounds of the same caliber are going to expand at different rates, deflect differently, and penetrate different depths. A particular 9mm that deflected off a rib might be sent into the spine where a 45 would have deflected differently and missed it or the opposite but most often the 45 will have the advantage on a singular hit for example. Stack all of those variables up and I dont think they can have conclusive results other than the obvious 45 will probably deflect less and make a more damaging hole at the cost of capacity and speed but even with the amount of real samples we have we don't know which is better.

I'm not ashamed to say I think 40 is a good caliber for general law enforcement for these reasons by the way.

We as civilians get to test in gel
Whereas cops if they shoot someone gets sent to the morgue and the results of the autopsy come back along with bullet characteristics and reports.

This constant stream of aftermath info is more indicative of how bullets actually respond to a human body, than a sterile testing of gelatin.

This explains why many departments still issue .40, as a pistol is the weapon they'll most likely be using primarily over the AR in the trunk.

.40 also has better auto window penetration and the flat nose is ideal for reliably hollowpoint expansion.

Departments with a large police force ex: NY is more likely to use 9mm for cost savings across the board. Similar to a car company using an inferior screw to save a few cents per car which leads to millions saved
A typical NY officer is also more likely to use their pistol less frequently than a highway patrol officer or a small town officer.

Military units are more likely to use 9mm (gign) because it is not their primary weapon, a rifle is. Therefore they go for capacity and cost savings as it is secondary to their rifle.

A cop is more likely to use his pistol, therefore there is less priority on capacity and cost and more priority on performance.

You be the judge

If the homosexuals that advocate the use of .45 ACP over 9x19mm were right. Why don't they use a .50 Action Express pistol or a .44 Magnum revolver. Since capacity is useless and only caliber counts, then at least pack something serious.

10mm is 6 to 800ft lbs, 41 mag is 6 to 1200ft lbs.

As far as gel tests and one shot stops, .40 beats 9mm, but not by much. I prefer it.

Damn, I remember reading that a while back and this >35030982 being my big problem along with him saying it took more rounds of 9mm to kill because they were shot more times with it generalizing rounds and who did the shooting. If you have faster follow up shots you'll probably land more hits, if it's a gangster I can see them body checking people already down, using only the cheapest rounds, or just making poor hits in general.

I have the same reasoning on 40 but I've heard times that most didn't notice much difference in a good hit between it and 9mm but it was great for barriers. Sorry that most of my replies look rambly, phone posting sucks.

LOL HOLY SHIT!!! THESE IDIOTS THINK THAT THE BALLISITIC GEL TESTS ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT A BODY INCH BY INCH LOL

HEY TARDS... WE ALL KNOW THAT ALL YA GOTTA DO IS GO THREE TO FOUR INCHES DEEP TO HIT A VITAL.

THE EXTRA INCHES OF PENETRATION TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SKIN, MUSCLE, AND BONE.

>implying that the only guns that come in .45 are 1911s

Glock makes a subcompact like the g26 (albeit very little larger) that carries 10 rounds of .45

And their normal full sized glock 21 carries 13+1

Four less shots than the Glock 17.

Realistically speaking... do you think it you'll be in a situation where 14 45s couldn't do it but 17 9mms did?

Most common self defense scenarios end in a few shots before a mag even runs out. 5 or 6 .45 are better than 5 or 6 9mm.

I'm a pretty big guy who's lifts so recoil doesn't affect me at all unless I'm competing against a bunch of other pros

It's an indicator of wound damage, just like the carcass you mong. If you want a "defensive scenario", you can even make the gel dummy models.

>>35031997
The g30 is more g19 sized, particularly with the typical extended baseplate magazine. Albeit the gun is shorter but the height is what matters the most in my experience.
>>
>>35032097
So it's more a question of if there are situations where 10rnds of 45 would be less desirable than 15rnds of 9mm.

Personally i think there are very few of these and 10rnds is enough to handle almost all situations. Honestly for CCW 10rnds is literally where i personally think the diminishing returns of added rounds reaches the point where it should be considered a low priority.

That being said If i was in one of those rare instances where i had to deal with 2-3 armed attackers(but hardly unheard of) i could totally see the extra 5rnds coming in handy.

Lol cops don't do that much research, they go with whoever has the best salesmen and whatever company the acquisition person likes the most.

Here's what I don't understand about stopping powah:
The people you're shooting aren't zombies. They will react psychologically to you shooting them, even if they aren't incapacitated physically. Just because a 45 makes a slightly larger wound than a 9mm, that doesn't meant they'll charge headlong into 9mm. People don't like getting shot.
>>
>>35032540
Im kinda confused? are you saying that since people don't want to get shot and will typically try to avoid that there's no point in a more effective cartridge?
>>
>>35033624
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that there's no point in being paranoid about the effectiveness of a given bullet, since at the end of the day, they're still getting shot.

Like,
>what stoppin powah nerds think will happen:
"AY YO, THIS CRACKA ONLY SHOOTIN NINE! BUST HIS ASS UP!"
*cultural enrichment ensues as Tyrone and his gang shrug off puny 9mm*

>what actually happens:
"SHIIET, HE GOT A GUN! LETS GET OUT OF HERE!"
*they leave their friend bleeding in the gutter*
>>
>>35034008
Oh, i see, then do you carry a .22lr pocket gun? I mean just showing a gun(let alone shooting at somebody) usually does the trick.

At that point why carry a 9mm when a .22, .380, or .38 is so much smaller/lighter.

All the 9mm really offers over the .380 is a little more penetration and an anecdotal reputation as a better antipersonnel cartridge. otherwise the .380 out classes it pretty handily

No I said mong. But alas for you, I will from now on refer to you as...

So guys...

You ever fuck a ballistic gel wound cavity?
>>
>>35030992
Because ideally you want a big bullet that you can comfortably shoot accurately

You can't get a quick double tap with .50 AE or .44 Mag
>>
>>35037243
Only if you want lead and sharp jacket fragments in your dick

>>35024505
So you hunt everything with .458 Win Mag so you can take an elephant out through bone while out hunting boar? What a fucking retard.
