I like the .40, I don't have anything negative to say about it. It's a bit more expensive than 9mm, but cheaper than .45
A .40 S&W is a 10mm shortened. 10mm is pricey. Go with the .40 between the two.
the ten mm is good against bears if your in bear country
there sa good reason all the alphabet agencies and police depts are selling their 40s for 9s instead
Yeah I hear 10mm is good if you're defending yourself against bears
Why are police agencies going back to 9mm?
Anyone have any experience with the .38 Super?
why r u interested in this caliber?
they are goign back to nine because with modern self defence ammunition
9 mm velocity and stopping ability is more than suffecient
plus u get a few more rounds 2withoput having to reload
@Joe the boomer
9mm or .45? Your personal opinion.
seriosuly
either
someone newer
shud go 9
given the nature of lower cap with 45s the 45 drifts into an experts defense weapon
.45 1911 is a great pistol
But also a Glock 17, 92fs, and Browning Hi Power are great 9mm
there r some doodoo ones out there
i woudl avoid the browning highpower for a first 9
little more finicky with parts and maintenance
first 9 shud be some modern poly frame double stack blaster
Glock 17 is good
feel out the various poly framed guns out and see whihc one feels the best
Lmao dude what are you talkin about the Browning hi-power is one of the best handguns chambered in 9 mm everyone recognizes this what do you mean by finicky LOL @Joe the boomer
its construction is more complex than say any modern poly frame handgun that being said the hipower is a wonederfull handgun
An amazing handgun I've got one
its creator was a genius and made the first models by hand
it is
its well over what a hundred years old now
I personally prefer 45s but if I had to go to 9 mm it would be this one over any other gun I just don't like the snappy recoil you get from Palmer guns
yeah well weight is still an issue the hi poiwer is a steel frame gun so instead of snappy recoil you have more weight granted its not as bad as a single stack 45acp
the internals are also more complex and harder to wrok on without some basic how you say gunsmithing skills
Believe it or not though the croatians make a pretty good Palmer gun though I bought an hs2000 when they first came out
cz is making a new poly frame gun
looks very promising
Cz makes a lot of great stuff
indeed they do
