9mm for concealed carry, 45acp for the nightstand and 10mm for the woods.

I should have been more clear. The G43 is 8+1. The Beretta PX Storm has a 15 round magazine.

I just looked in to the newer PX Storm and it’s solid AF. They modified the original, mine, in the newer models that are better for serious shooters; better trigger, lower profile, ambidextrous of you need, updated decocker/safety…

once ur above .22 size shot placement > caliber, and thus magazine capacity > cartridge size making 9mm king

At this point if you use anything but 9mm you're retarded.

Unless of course you have specific circumstances, like you live in Alaska (10mm+), or you're using a revolver (38/357).

Agreed for the most part. I will also say, if all you have is 9mm handguns you are more Canadian than American.

9mm

[JUSA]

Wut do?

.40, it has as much stopping power as .45 due to the increased speed. God forbid, if you ever have to defend your or some other life, you want to eliminate the threat entirely. A 9mm might not put someone on the ground, giving them the chance to respond with deadly force. A .40 is far more likely to put whomever out of action entirely.

With 9mm, the advantage might be a double stack magazine with 20+ rounds, but I think I'd rather have 8+1 that I can rely on more than 15+ rounds with less power.

.45. Two world wars.




But between the two choices, 9mm.

[Ikeman83]

The Answer is 9mm. It's not close, and there are several reasons why:

1. You're using a handgun, which immediately invalidates any discussion of stopping power. Handguns don't have stopping power, period. .45s do not have stopping power, 10mm does not have stopping power, 460 Casull does not have stopping power. Large caliber revolver rounds and 10mm are useful for bear defense because they have penetrating power which allows them to get into significantly more flesh to damage a bear's vital organs / brain. This is not relevant when shooting people.

2. You're using a handgun, which immediately means that the mechanical accuracy of the system you're using is bad. Combined with the relative ineffectiveness of handgun rounds, you will likely need to shoot more times, and if firing is happening in 2 directions, you are more likely to miss. This makes it important to:
a. Increase capacity to maximize your opportunities for quality hits. 9mm >> 40
b. Reduce muzzle flip to increase your time on target. 9mm >>>> 40

3. You're using a handgun, which means that you actually need to practice with the weapon you're using. 9mm ammo is generally cheaper than 40 S&W ammo, meaning that you'll be able to afford more meaningful practice.

.40S&W = .40 short & weak

Well it’s bigger and stronger than 9mm so you can really only call it short and weak if your comparing it to 10mm

9mm is the Walmart caliber where all the hambeasts shop

.40 is the Target caliber where all the soccer moms in yoga pants shop.

[FAPhaggot]

40 is too much kick for not enough ballistic gain.

More power to any level headed ,trained individual who wants to own a gun. I'm all for it.

Personally, I owned one my whole life for about six months and have zero desire to ever own another one. More of a liability than an asset as far as I'm concerned.
