@46ace 7 жыл бұрын

Actually if you look at the statistics ALL the common pistol defense calibers took more than one shot to stop. So two .380's , 2 .22lr., 2 9mm's or 2 .45's what difference does it make? People shoot until the threat is "neutralized". One caution about shooting incident statistics: Of course Each shooting situation is UTTERLY, completely (randomly) UNIQUE! Here's some things that make each situation different: I.E. How big was the assailant? How motivated or drugged up? How much fat vs muscle? where did the bullet enter? What angle did it travel? What organs did it hit?What was the assailants blood pressure? How hydrated was the assailant? All these things affect the outcome of the shooting! The least of which is:"was the bullet .357" in diameter or .40" (.043" difference) in diameter...

I've shot and reloaded them all and seen the damage they cause. I shoot a 40S&W 180gr, near max. It's a joy to shoot in the Beretta 96, I've found my pistol.... In a revolver, I love the 357mag in 125gr with a 6" 6shot Smith, Taurus, etc....

@speedgo41 7 жыл бұрын

When I was a young kid shooting at a range for the first time, our range master told all the kids there to always respect a firearm regardless of caliber. He brought out a .45 and a .22 to use as examples, and asked the group which of the guns would "kill you more". Obviously the group of kids all decided that it would have to be the .45 that would kill you more, but he corrected us in explaining that a .22 will still kill you. He said that dead is dead and that the size of the hole wouldn't matter at that point. Needless to say we all respected our little .22 rifles a bit more after that. So anyone that goes around saying a 9mm isn't deadly is an idiot. All that matters is having a straight shooting and reliable gun that you're personally comfortable with and can use effectively.

@wmf2087 10 жыл бұрын

Shot placement is indeed important, but the reality of critical self defense shooting is that you are making a mistake to rely on accuracy. So a less than lethal shot from a .40 is more likely to stop the aggressive action than the same shot from a.380. So unless you're a sniper, or you know some Jedi mind control tricks to make the bad guy hold still while you shoot him, think about ballistics (stopping power) instead of just accuracy.

I'd call the .40 S&W (my personal favorite) a nice compromise round between a 9mm and a .45ACP, but I don't feel like I'm losing anything. It's speedier than a .45ACP but heavier than a 9mm. It penetrates very well like a 9mm but I can carry more rounds than I can in my 1911. If there is a drawback, it's that a .40 S&W in a polymer pistol is a little too snappy for some to feel comfortable shooting where a 9mm or even a full steel 1911 is going to be a bit smoother. Just my two cents.

@@hobbyhermit66 was it really small and had a polymer lower? My full size 5” barrel 1911 in 45 is my smoothest shooting gun recoil wise. I can hit steel with it from decent ranges and my CZ75 compact steel frame in 9mm is a really close second but then my smith and Wesson shield M&P 9 is pretty snappy cause it’s so light. Personally I would rather EDC a slightly heavier gun that I can shoot better with so the CZ75 compact is it.

I love to watch these calibre debates 9mm vs .45. M16 vs Ak47. What I would say in conclusion is I live in the UK where you can't have any of them ( well you can but it's very difficult and pistols are almost unheard of unless they are long barrel with a tail sticking out the back) you certainly can't carry any of them and if you had a licence and even mentioned self defence they would take your licence/gun's and never let you have them again. If I had a choice of any of these calibres I would consider it an amazing freedom. Being able to buy and carry a .22 lr pistol as personal defence would be a victory for freedom. I would stop moaning about calibre and be happy you can own a gun. Saying that though I'm partial to that 357 magnum.

Sprotdude17 If you didn't know, it was a knee-jerk vote-gaining decision made after the Dunblane shootings in 1996. No doubt if it hadn't been election time, this "law" wouldn't have been passed. As somebody born in 95, I've never had the privilege of owning or shooting any handguns, like ever. The carrying aspect doesn't phase me, however the owning/ability to use at a range aspect does. I have to fly to a different fucking country just to have some fun with handguns/semi-auto anything above a .22lr Was lucky to use an L85/LSW in my time as an army trainee, but that's about it. The fact that there are American citizens (fools) actively trying to ban firearms they know nothing about sickens me as a law abiding brit who will never get the chance no matter how much I want to. Fuck anti-gun activists man...

So I am sure the people once they are in the recovery room are glad they were shot with 9 instead of a 45, especially the major vessel ones, that extra size and power would have been all that was need to cut it and bleed out in minutes

The study would also implicitly take shot placement into account, the only real caveat I would have is that it's a study of effectiveness with reasonably proficient shooters. It's very possible some calibers might perform differently overall in a study with inexperienced or less proficient shooters. That's how statistics work.

In ancient times, the bow and arrow were pretty effective at killing someone. No "wound channels" or expanding arrow heads. This isn't because a projectile is particularly powerful, but because the human body is extremely fragile. Any arrow or bullet penetrating into a vital organ will usually disrupt its delicate biomechanics (blood flow, nerve transmission, etc). The real question is where the projectile hits and what kind of damage it does.

@jimmypavone3231 10 ай бұрын

Actually an arrow is much more lethal than a bullet. The whole arrow is like 500 grains it it typically will pass right through the deer or target. Have you seen the hunting tips with a 1" cross of razor blades??? What bullet expands THAT much?

Because it's cheap to obtain. And shot placement is easier with less recoil. Doctors have said that because the entry wound is small and the rounds many times ricochet around, puncturing vital organs.... And they have no idea where to sew up the internal bleeding. Usually it won't incapacitate them, but rather take them out of the fight, and later on is when they end up dying.

@jamalblount5159 9 жыл бұрын

This is very interesting stuff. I am getting a security job pretty soon and I'm looking for a new sidearm, right now I'm leaning towards the 45 ACP as my caliber choice due to the fact that if I didn't have any hollow points available I would feel confident enough with the ball ammo. There's nothin wrong with the 9 millimeter but there's one factor that was not mentioned and that is what if one shot is all you get? I'd much rather have 1 45 ACP bullet hit my would-be attacker over a 9 millimeter bullet regardless of shot placement. One of the biggest pluses for a 9 millimeter is you have more rounds in the gun but I think personally if you have to discharge your gun 17 or 18 times to stop a threat you really need to spend more time on the range.

@lowerspeedhigherdrag 9 жыл бұрын

After working armed security for years, generally you are issued a sidearm in whatever caliber the brass decides. If you need to purchase your own I have always been told "duty caliber" ie something the military or LEO carry. The vast majority of the companies unless you have a military contract will be 40s, so if your gonna get something I would start with that.

@lowerspeedhigherdrag 9 жыл бұрын

I can't come up with a scenario where I would only have one round. I have a magazine in my gun and my pocket for a reason. But the idea of a handgun is not to kill, just to get the bad guy to stop doing what made you feel the need to shoot said bad guy in the first place. If he stops after 1 round mission accomplished. If you literally only have one round, run.

I am a fan of the 22LR cartridge. As a veteran of a combat unit, it was my job to be an expert with the 5.56, 7.62, and 50BMG. But as a civilian, I have no need for long range shooting. It is overstated, but the 22LR is fun to shoot. It's very accurate under 100 yards and it's easy to place several rounds exactly where you want them, and to do so very quickly. There are limits to the 22LR, but for civilian duty, it's doubtful I'd encounter them.

Glock 1 Something that should be taken into account is that with bullet technology getting 9mm up to par, it hasn't been that long. With that being said, how could we honestly think that 40 S&W was a better defense round than the 10mm or the 357 SIG??? It's an even comparison, at best. It all comes down to popularity. More shots fired over those 17 years by certain calibers.
