    Default Re: Larry Vickers - Gunfighter moment - 9mmP

    I don't agree with the oke. Why is that trolling?

    I honestly believe that the 9mmP is a poor choice.
    Is it cheaper - yes
    Is it readily avail - yes
    Is it easier to shoot - yes

    would I carry 9mmP - no.

    If you can afford to reload for 9mmP as most comp shooters do here on GS, you should be able to afford to reload in just about any handgun caliber. It's not an extra grain of powder, and 10cents on a bullet that's gonna break the bank. IMO.

    Multiply those numbers by ten thousand a year and those numbers add up.

    Why wouldn't you carry one, stopping power fairy tales?

    The FBI, the US Armed Forces, the Mil/LE of just about the whole world and most of the civilian gun owners in the world and the vast majority if not all of the credible trainers in the world disagree with you.

    This is not relevant for people who buy guns solely for self defence. The vast majority of pistol owners in this country are not sport shooters, and do not reload.

    So, again, what good is it if you can't get bullets?

    I presume that you have some logical rationale for your viewpoint. I'm sure many here would like to hear it.

    There is nothing that 40 and 45 can do in a SD situation that quality 9mm can't do. You want to feel special because you don't agree? That's your prerogative. But you'll have a hard time convincing those who look at results rather than what they like and don't like.

    From what I've read, I dont understand the obsession with a calibre where a 1-2mm bullet setback will blow up your pistol (double in pressure).

    His post history lends me to believe he carries a G23. 40S&W isn't that far off 9mmP +P+.

    Even leaving aside the stopping power argument, the tapered 9mm has garnered an excellent reputation for feeding reliability. I am unaware of any tests which suggest that the short stubby 40 comes anywhere close.

    You have every right to stick to your beliefs.

    I also have my beliefs. For example, I believe the earth to be flat, despite the fact that I regularly get lots of flack about it. I feel happy sticking to my belief and get lots of support and encouragement from all of the many other supporters of the flat earth movement around the globe.

    I also love my 10mm Auto and 45ACP pistols, and off course my 44 Magnum revolvers. (Now that should put the smile back on uncle Clint's face.)

    Despite all the shortcomings of the 9mmP cartridge, and I could list a few of them, if you look inside my belt right now, you might find a 9mmP pistol there. (But that area is of course not open to public viewing.)
