O.C is there gonna be a test? :smt102


:-D

That's one caliber that I have consistently avoided.

 

[fastvette]

I like the round and have some of the Ranger / black talon stuff carried in G23.

Wish I could say the same.

Understand. Most departments around here will not let an officer carry their own weapon, liability issue I guess.

And the FBI is back to the 9mm I hear.

And the FBI is back to the 9mm I hear.

I guess modern ballistics testing has confirmed that there isn't much difference between 9mm, .40, and .45. I've also read 9mm actually has better penetration.

Bullet design has changed alot in the last 25 years. Still waiting to hear from the guy that started this thread.

"10mm short" And I like it. Take care. Tom Worthington

If I need penetration I will take the Tokarev along. Carry is 9 or .380.

I have been eyeballing the .357 Sig as another to add.

Have a Glock 22. I love the round.

 

[sigman]

I have several 40's. Works fine for me.

That is a bad little round the .357 Sig. It's our duty ammo.

That plus more rounds and less recoil making follow up shots easier.

Make sure you check out the price of the ammo first and are comfortable with that cost; it's pricey stuff.

Relative to the .40, I was solely into rifles at first and accumulated too many different calibers so when I finally got into handguns, I decided right from the start to keep things simple. All our handguns are 9mm or .22 for semi-autos and all our revolvers are .38/.357 mag.

Good refresher though. I had forgotten a lot of how it originated.

Pretty good documentary on the fbi shoot out

Beginning is background on the perps. Shootout starts around 24:00

Hear back about what
I just made the jump to the 10mm and it at least to me is a lot more violent than the Beretta FS 9mm and .45 Wilson Combat 1911 I've been shooting , plus it has more ME than the .45 and @ 1600+fps almost twice the velocity with 135 gr HP loads

i asked you a question, if a 10mm is a hand cannon in your opinion whats the 40?

 

[brutalbob]

I don't remember what the original Norma ammo for the 10mm was rated at in the 80's. I have a couple of cases left so I chronographed some the other day. Out of my Glock it went 1485-1510fps., my Bren 10fps faster. That's with a 170gr bullet! Good stuff back then.
