Look no guns

40 is better then 9mm and .45

.45 barely penetrates and has less cap

9mm doesn't have energy to go thru a windshield in dis case da rib cage.

40 cal will do better.

My first gun was a glock 30s and it wuz a mistake because of my ignorance to ballistics.

I now own a glock 19 and in process of selling it for a glock 22 for cc and hd.

all three can penetrate adequately, however .40 and .45 smash through bone better than 9mm. now .45 leaves the biggest hole out of the three.. hmmm

did YOU read it? go shoot through pork / beef ribs with 9mm / .40 / .45 and decide for yourself which caliber performs better and maintains a true path.

1. does your self defense caliber penetrate A MINIMUM of 18" of tissue?
>9mm? yes

2. will it do that and maintain a straight trajectory after going through shoulder and rib bones?
>9mm? no. not reliably, according to many tests which can be viewed online. .40 and .45 do that better

3. which caliber does all that and leave the biggest permanent hole?
>.45


for defensive handgun calibers, the only thing that matters is penetration and the size of the hole. stopping power is a myth, energy transfer is not significant whatsoever in human targets. temporary cavities don't do damage in human targets. read that document above, read it twice, and then go watch tests that are more accurately representative of a human target than just gel blocks. that document highlights the requirement of for performance on shots taken from the profile or sub-optimal angles.
>>
>>35172624
It's alright. The protagonist doesn't abuse his "power" as much as I'd hoped.
>>
>>35172831

So basically .40 since it's 9mm but bigger and SLIGHTLY faster

And more faster then .45 while still making a BIGGER hole den 9mm.


I'm da guy who sold glock 30s for glock 19 and in da process of selling to buy buy glock 22.
>>
>>35172003
>>not knowing energy & fps doesn't mean shit in handgun calibers
.45 ACP may tend to NOT penetrate sheet metal due to large surface area, sub-sonic speeds, considering the deformation of the sheet metal actually taking up all the energy.
9mm is a zippy little round that probably will go through sheet metal (ball ammo, not flying ashtrays)
.40S&W is a fine middle ground
For you, anon, I recommend alternating ball and hollow point, because you never know when Jamal or Abdul will poke their head up from behind the fender during the shootout that will never happen. All you need to get good at is double taps.
NOW, THE MAJOR QUESTION WITH REGARD TO MY RECOMMENDATION OF DOUBLE TAPS: DO YOU START WITH BALL OR HOLLOW POINTS
Sorry caps, not going to MSWord to change case.
You, anon, are a noguns that is only interested in memes.
You would not happily step in front of a BB gun and take a hit.
You will not ever step in front of a 9mm, .40S&W or .45 ACP.
You also wouldn't step in front of a .22 SHORT!!!

In summary, STFU noguns!

Except you don't. You have one gun, that can fire two different, marginally better performing and slightly more expensive rounds. After a few minutes of configuring. But again, only one at a time.
I get why, ammo availability, cause why the hell not, etc.
But still, you don't actually have two guns in one.

If I were to get a .40 chambered gun, would the CZ P09 in .40 or the PX4 in .40 be a better pistol? In terms of recoil, accuracy, etc.

I never understood all the hate for .40 s&w. There isn't really a noticeable difference in recoil for me, there isn't as big of a difference in capacity unlike .45, ammo is definitely cheaper than .45 and not too much more than 9mm, and it does preform marginally better than 9mm especially against barriers and bones. The most valid criticism that I've seen is that it can wear down some guns faster. That being said, I still prefer 9mm.
>>
>>35172311
wat.

9mm is better than .40 because nearly identical terminal ballistics, but lighter weight and higher capacity.

Don't even get me started on .45. It has good terminal ballistics but the high weight and low capacity reduce its practicality.

.40 is just shit. None of the advantages of .45 and none of the advantages of 9mm. Its just shit. It needs to go away.

I know this is bait.

"i need the need the major bump because I'm slow and inaccurate"
>>
>>35175281

If you could make those statements without words like "nearly", "but", "practicality", and over use of "advantages".

Your arguemnet is dependent on a lot of vague subjective wording, which means it's shit

>bigger hole
>deeper penetration
>more reliable expansion
>more effective in fmj or failed expansion
>shatters car glass and bone

These are undeniable fact. The fact you want 40 to "go away" only shows that you know, deep down, that you are a kind of a faggot who can't handle anything off of easy mode, but likes to pretend you are not a huge pussy.

I don't like 40 S&W but I would still buy one if the price was right. Hell, I don't "love" a lot of guns but guns are tools and sometimes there is a perfect tool for the job.

Last weekend I picked up a G27 police trade in. It has a just trace of holster wear but looks almost new and has the case, a mag and night sights. I got it for under 300 bucks with some coupons at Cabelas. Seriously, 40S&W LEO trade in Glocks are a dime a dozen online too.

Now, I have many handguns and I don't carry 40. That said, there were reasons I picked it up.

1. It was cheap.
2. I have another caliber that I can play with because guns are fun.
3. LWD has 40-357 Sig conversion barrels for under $75 shipped right now.
4. I just picked up a nice 9-40 conversion barrel for it. It is a G26 after also changing the extractor, ejector and plunger for the extractor. These parts are cheap and I have many extras.
5. More parts. I have 3 G26s.
6. Ammo shortages. After sandy hook, 40 was the last major centerfire caliber to go and the first to come back.
7. Local cops shoot it out of their M&Ps. Brass is literally everywhere. Many cops own 40s. From a survivalist mindset, this is a big one.

You know, there's nothing wrong with .40 S&W. Nothing wrong at all. It's a perfectly viable caliber choice up there with 9mm, .45 ACP, (maybe) .357 Sig if you don't mind spending money. The problem is that some people tout .40 S&W as the end all be all cartridge. It used to be much worse years ago after the FBI switched and Police Departments switched in step to .40 S&W which was supposedly the cartridge of the future. At the time it was much better than most 9mm offerings on the market. However, ballistics has improved immensely in the last decade or two and 9mm defensive rounds are currently considered by the FBI to be so good that the slightly higher capacity and reduced recoil from .40 S&W is worth switching BACK to 9mm.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with .40 S&W. But its time as the wonder cartridge, much like with .45 ACP, is over.

OOOH, did I shatter your ever so delicate ego with that quip? Did I hit a nerve? Or perhaps I blemished some sentimental memory you held ever so dearly. I'll bet you're weeping with rage. Yes, you probably wish you could hurt me; I'll bet you're thinking about choking me right now. You're so fragile, it's pathetic. But I suspect that this goes deeper than some superficial internet argument. Your father was a relentless drunkard, wasn't he? He'd lose his wits and give you a real thrashing. You never quite measured up in his eyes and you've always resented him for it. And I don't have to tell you that you resent yourself for it. Yet, you still keep something from him very close to you, perhaps a watch? Ah, yes, you wear your fathers timepiece. And If I were to guess, I'd say your mother was a whore and of course, a drunkard as well...In your eyes they drank to escape the burden of you and perhaps you are right. Ah, yes, that unique recipe for a broken soul...Here we are, we've come full circle. I've spent far too much time on you already. I hope you're happy; here's your (you), you attention seeking little insect.

One of the reasons I don't like it is that some of the platforms (Glocks) that I like can be a bit sketchy to reload for. I'm talking about the need for a generous feed ramp and the (relatively) unsupported chamber in Glocks.

Now, it you shoot something else, cool. Just about every other platform in 40 tends to suck for my purposes.

Yes, people do reload for 40 cal Glocks but a lot of the power of the cartridge (compared to 9mm) comes from the last 20% of power that it tries to eek out in its higher loadings. The brass works great once, maybe twice but starts to weaken around the case head and bulge. There are workarounds, sure. There are aftermarket barrels, bulge busting dies, etc. Ultimately, the cost of shooting the caliber goes up for someone trying to spend time at the range and less money on new ammo/components.

I literally shovel 9mm brass into a bucket at my range and I only ever had one or two cases split on me in 10 years of reloading. The gun (G17) was fine. I'm not counting my chickens when it comes to 40 cal glocks. See: KaBoom.

I'm not saying the cartridge is bad. It just has some caveats for a lot of people, including me. I'm rocking some reloads right now in my G26 that are very hot 9mm with the Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defender 90gr solid copper projectiles. They clocked at over 1400fps and the ballistics seem very good. I just don't see the need to stick with a 40 unless I want to make a 357 SIG conversion. ;)

Real life isn't diablo 3, kid. Shooting someone kills them, regardless of if the hole is the size of a dime or a quarter.

>Blood leaks out of a 11.43mm hole just as fast as a 9mm hole! I bet you play video games! Video games are for children!

>>35172025
By that line of reasoning: inside 100yds a .223 round is more effective then a .357 magnum?

Throw a small rock into water really fast
Throw a bigger rock into the water almost as fast
What was the result? That's how bullets perform when they hit a body. (Had to dumb it down for you but it proves the point)

Now think about pistol rounds like those rocks. 9mm= not a big wound but easier shooting ,more capacity, better armor/cover penetration.
45 acp= fat wound cavity, poor armor penetration but taking one to the chest would incapacitate you anyway.
40s&w= rides some middle ground.


If you like 40 why not just step up to 10mm? My carry piece is a glock 20 and its easy breezy to get follow ups with. But maybe I'm not as sensitive to recoil.

You're not even human if you use anything other than 10mm.

.40 is improved 10mm with 2mm less case length so it doesn't crack your gun.

The guy doing them already has preorders, that basically means that it's already in production and nothing bad will happen, therefore ushering in the golden age of firearms as the Bren Ten will return to it's rightful throne of best handgun money can buy.

>>35185555
Checked, and also wouldn't .223>.357 magnum anyways at 100 yards and beyond?
>>
>>35187557
YES I'm psyched for you.
>>
>>35187577
Crack your gun?
Less case is better?

http://gundata.org/blog/post/10mm-vs-40-summary-and-ballistics/

Why would anybody want 357mag ballistics in a semi auto pistol with as much recoil (I think less even) as a 45acp?
>>
>>35187923
Yep. But handguns weren't meant to engage targets beyond 100 yds. You still can though. People hunt with scoped 357s, 44mags, and 454 casulls
>>
>>35187577

I don't get it....10mm is what I carry and shoot all the time and it has never seemed like too much recoil. The difference between it and 9mm to me is so slight. I can't detect if follow up shots are slower at all. So why be a pussy?
>>
>>35185555
Look no guns were talking exactly bout 9/40/45 da big three.

Don't change subject


>>35186821

45 barely has penetration nor stop power barely any energy. Not sure why u tried to dumb it dwn u can't tell me nothin bout ballistics I already know.

> if you like 40 why not just step up to 10mm

Plz stop dat shit. Unless your shooting underwood or etc ur pretty much shooting 10mm lite practically .40

Even den I wouldn't be da one to shoot real 10mm rounds out of a glock. Look it up n you'll see why.

>>35188643
Are you shooting real 10mm or commercial ? I'm not recoil sensitive but majority commercial 10mm is loaded lite.
>>
>>35190154
>Not sure why u tried to dumb it dwn

No way! Couldn't be all the spelling and grammar errors.
Your response makes you sound like a low-IQ retard. therefore, no one puts much stock in your response. Never mind the fact that most of what you posted is flat out wrong.
Shit, even the forum's spell check feature feels dumber for having to deal with your post.
>>
>>35190242
Theres a new (used 50 rounds tops) witness 10mm at a lgs up for consignment for 450$ is it true you can load those super hot? is that the ultimate pistol so load super hot and call everyone else numale?
>>
>>35184010
Not even trolling ur guessing because ur a no guns only no guns fail to see ballistics.
>>
>>35190242
Oh wow leave it to da privileged white boi to think he's better den da next man because he thinks he's well educated. It's obvious u don't know shit bout ballistics but sure keep shooting your 10mm lite

What's flat out wrong u can't even tell me shit.

I could cc a glock 20 with no prob but why would if I won't be ble to shoot real 10 mm with out cracking da gun.
