Your caliber sucks and mine is the one true caliber

THE RETURN OF THE 9MM (OR WHY I HATE 40 CALIBER)

Also, your gun sucks and you’re holding it wrong.

    Yeah, I bought into the Miami hype, too, and am up to my ears in .40, or I’d switch to 9mm. Oh, well. Not gonna lose any sleep over it.

    I overheard a salesman at Bud’s (their retail store in Kodak, TN) tell a customer at the counter on Friday that they are stocking a lot fewer 40 cals now, and that he wouldn’t be surprised if they stopped stocking them altogether. He said that many are trading them in and they do not sell very many new ones.

    I have spoken to the salesman in question before and I don’t think he is an idiot.

    T’would be interesting if the 10mm ends up with a bigger share of the market than 40. I doubt that will happen anytime soon, but who knows…in 10 years…

    Well what about a .39, then? Compromise.

    When did even shooters become wimps? We are the country of the .44 Magnum and now we’re leaving a superior round with the perfect amount of width to capacity ratio for some eurotrash round? I’m going exclusive.357 sig.

    .40… 9MM… BAH! If your auto aint chambered for .45 ACP, your gun sucks and you’re holding it wrong. ๐Ÿ™‚

    And the pistol must be a 1911A1. ๐Ÿ™‚

    May be more a matter of economics than ballistics. In the trade 9mm is called the new .22. Think the S will HTF? Good fmj 9 at .15 rd makes sense. Yeah, you can load yer own; looked for supplies recently?

    And your stance is crap too.

    Let me get this straight. We are now to choose our personal defense system according to how well we can hold up while firing a thousand rounds in a day with it? Is that what I just read?

    Does anyone else see a possible disconnect there?

    If thousand round training days are a great concept, then would a five thousand round training day be that much better? Ten thousand? When does it become excessive, and why?

    At the other end of the spectrum; how about a training day on which we show up not knowing whether we’ll fire any shots? If we do fire, we fire only one to three rounds from concealment, then go home, think about it, and maybe come back in a week?

    Of the two extremes (ten thousand rounds in a day, or maybe one to three) which would your say is more relevant to a self defense scenario? Which training scenario is designed more around people’s work, travel and hotel logistics and expense, and hype and excitement, as opposed to relevant learning?

    Just askin’. Carry on as if you never saw this.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
