Which one does /k/ prefer for general purposes?
>>
>>35111257

>general purpose

I find 9mm easier to slide inside my urethra. Now I can do the .45 ACP, but it's a bit tough on those who are just starting out.
>>
.45 ACP are better anal beads, a bit tough to get them on a string.
>>
>>35111257
> general purpose
Ok, that's vague.

9mm
Cheap range ammo
Can carry more
Higher capacity
+p loadings breddy gud
Faster follow up shots

45acp
Big and slow has lots of proven success
More fun to shoot at the range
Heavier if you need to carry a lot
Small mag capacity
Bigger grip size
More expensive

45 is mostly negative trade offs but I enjoy shooting it more. If you buy quality ammo either will do most things fine.

9mm. Such an easy choice for CC
>>
>>35111257
>general purposes?
Like shooting anything from paper to outdated farm equipment?

.45 ACP +P JHP. It's a fucking stout round in +P. Averages 1000+ FPS and will kill shit deader than dead. I really just don't trust 9mm enough for anything other than summer carry where people won't be wearing heavy clothes and I need a slim frame.

.40. Not joking.
>>
>>35111714
Why is .40 better than 9mm? Because it's more powerful? Well in that case why stop at .40, why not .45?

I really fucking hate you trollin no guns faggots god help,you if you were being serious.

45 & 9mm are good rounds both have there place
suppressed = .45
un suppressed = 9mm
>>
.45 is better for grilling. 9mm is better for baking. Both make a mean cheesecake.
>>
>>35112853
In terms of "power,"
10mm > .40 > .45 > .357 Sig > 9mm > .380
>>
>>35113181
As someone who owned a glock 30s for ccw and articles to a glock 19'and in process of switching to a glock 22 .40 cal


Wats da point of saying .45 is good for suppression when da average owner wil never buy a silencer even then wats da point? If .45 just doesn't have the stuff 40 n 9mm have.

.45 is a dead caliber for anything but plinking and just having da feeling of shooting a big slug.


>>35111404
Yeh with even LESS PENETRATION den a non +p do you even ballistics?

If you don't trust 9mm why would trust a slower less fps round. Heavy coat or no coat a higher fps round will have more penetration den a slow .45 auto even with a lower gr .45 you still get less penetration.


If jhp we're never invented den yes I would say .45 is king since any fmj will over penetrate.
>>
>>35113328
Put .45 before 9mm and you have it right. It's safe to say .45 still beats slow n weak .380

50 cent got shot 9 times in the head with 9mm and lived. Think 45 is survivable with 9 shots to the head?
>>
>>35113378
Dats not what happen dumbass. And yes since it's slow n weak.

I actually had dreams of shooting enemy's n people I didn't like in general every time shoot dem up with .45 da bullet would actually not penetrate at all they still died but I was actually able to retrieve jhp from there heads

I been having des dreams once in a while kinda scary n cool at same time.

>>35113410
It was in 2002 retard.

You have problems inside your brain. Seek help
>>
>>35113340
Switched to glock 19 not sure why it auto correct to articles.
>>
>>35113340
Good hollow point 9 and 45 rounds preform almost identically
big and slow vs small and fast = same temporary wound cavity
you need a high power cartage to see an actual difference meaning 44 mag+
>>
>>35113432
He didn't get 9times in the head some where in his face mouth and body. If all shots where in his head no way in hell fiddy would survive retard.

I sed once in awhile.
>>
>>35113340
>+P equals less weight bullet
No
>>
>>
>>35113457
230 +p 185 +p 200gr +p will have less penetration. Den it's already less penetrating non +p.

Honestly, all handgun rounds are about as shitty as each other. To answer the OP, either one, depends on my mood
>>
>>35113518

Why do you have that sweet mk23 next to a fagged out glock? I really wanted to like you.
>>
>>35113378
Why would you lie on the internet? He got shot in the cheek once. The chest wound was more dangerous.

"In May 2000 50 Cent was shot nine times and had wounds in his hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and his face (left cheek). He lost a wisdom tooth, has a scar on his face and has a small slur in his voice."

Meanwhile in fuddy five land...

I think you mean what's that sweet Glock doing next to the H&Gay fuddy five.
>>
>>35111257
>general purpose
9mm because I'm poor.
That said, .45 ACP is objectively the superior round to use in self defense. Anyone who says otherwise owns a P320 or unironically believes Glock is perfection.

Personally, 45acp
Big guns give me big smiles

But even a .22lr can kill
>>
>>35113328
You really think a sub/tran sonic .45 round is more powerful than a 357 sig? I'm not sure where 40 and sig fall in compared to one another figure 40's probably got a lot more time where people have been buying and playing around with handloads. Obviously 40 can get near the weight of a .45 while going faster, I don't think there is any way .45 is going to come close to that sig in terms of power though.

>>35111257
45 will be better at killing, count 2 bullets max to stop one man. 9mm you'll need at least 3 shots unless you hit the head. Just check at Spain terror attack. The policeman that kill 4 terrorist with a 9mm. He shot a guy 2 times the guy fell to the ground and then got up and got shot again and died... 9mm advantage is just you have more bullet but 45 acp is better at killing with only 1 bullet.
>>
>>35111257
.45. I have tons of brass to reload cheap. Allows me to shoot allot.

I carry what I shoot most. 9 is fine though. Both will do. I carry 9 on occasion when I need a little gun.

Yes but 45 still has more weight.
It also never shrinks whereas 9mm can fail to expand
