Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

I get that the 9 on paper looks very close to a 45 but I have seen what they both do in the real world..from seeing all of that I would rather have a 45..if you guys trust the 9 to do the job that is great it is all about personal preference but after all I have seen I will not trust a 9..even more so when someone is drugged up and coming towards me |

There is a reason the military and cops are not carrying the 9mm anymore.

Here is one of the pictures I was talking about. I will try to find a few more to better explain what it is I am trying to say |

Good deal on 55gr 223 - Freedom Munitions
Also, use the coupon code "freeship514" for free shipping. I got it for just under $0.27 a round. |

When I was working investigations in Europe (back in the 70s) I was carrying a 1911 until my supervisor "informed" me that we were going to the 9mm. I loved the new guns (Sigs) but hated the 9mm. To this day I am a Sig guy but long ago switched back to the .45. I have a couple of 9mm's - but use them for plinking only - which, in my opinion, is about all they are good for. Now, having said that, they WILL kill you dead and the FPS is good on those rounds. Maybe a little too good. Part of the problem with stopping power is that they tend to go through fast, without a lot of damage. Hitting someone with a 45 is like taking a ball bat to the chest. I've heard of people taking .45 rounds and getting up....but not very often. |

You could use the same argument with a 380..nobody wants to get shot..I don't care if people shoot a 9..the guy asked between a 9 and 45..I told him my opinion on my experience with both guns..I have seen the damage cause by both first hand..I would rather trust my life with a 45 if I had to pick out of those 2

I never said you were trying to tell someone what to shoot. I saw the debate raging, and quoted you because it seemed to be the source.

A man once told me "a 9mm may expand, but a 45acp will never shrink"

The FBI is transitioning back to the 9mm. So are a lot of police departments.

I get what you're saying, not trying to argue but the FBI's forensics lab claims the difference is practically negligible. To each his own.
