the .40 because it has been said to be the new go to gun for law enforcement also because it can still except hi cap mags in many cases , none of that 10 round bs, also because i have owned many and am comfortable with that round , the .357 sig because it is very close to the 357 mag but made for semi auto with possibility of hi cap mag, slimmer and faster then the .40
The .40 used to be the go-to for law enforcement but many are switching back to 9mm. .40 is on its way out, as it turns out the terminal ballistics arent that much better than 9 but recoil is snappier and you get a few less rounds per mag.
A 9mm today can do what a .40 S&W did twenty years ago, and while there is still some gap between today’s 9mm and today’s .40 S&W or .357 Sig, that gap is a lot narrower, and 9mm will always have an edge in capacity and recoil. Those who insist on more “power” are probably better served by bumping up to a .45 ACP. Police departments and government agencies are slowly transitioning from their “intermediate” handgun calibers back to 9mm as a result.
So, for this handgun caliber showdown, it is with much sorrow and misery that I have to say that for all intents and purposes, the time-tested, relatively weaker but more readily available and more affordable 9mm wins over the .357 SIG.
When the data starts off with such a bold-faced absolute that is simply retarded, I don't think the rest will deserve the effort because I suspect half of it will need to be commented on.
Yeah and this post was written for the widest audience possible, so who in their right mind would recommend .45 ACP as a first and only handgun to an unknown person? Or would you call someone's wife, daughter, young son, etc. a limp wristed faggot for shooting a 9 better? Hence the best handgun for that purpose is a 9mm.
In terms of ballistics of individual rounds, yes. But once you figure in mag capacity, weight, cost, recoil management, and ammo availability the 9mm wins, hence why police departments are transitioning back to 9mm.
No. You pick .45 ACP for it's still epic characteristics as well as it's subsonic characteristics for various modern suppressed full-auto .45 ACP SMG's like the KRISS Vector.
10mm is fine if that's your thing, but far less utility. 9mm is worlds away from being the best pistol caliber.

Awesome and thank you for sharing.

Shopped many pistols, settled on Springfield XD .40.
I love it. Her name is Winona.

Perhaps you can explain why and present an alternative, cheap and reliable handgun?

Then comment and explain your reasoning instead of being a lazy non-constructive whiner.
15113340? ago
Yes, yes, you've already thrown lots of mud...
...but can you explain why 9mm semi-automatics with removable magazines make you REEEEEEEEEEEE so much?
15113102? ago
My .45 is just fine thanks.
15113167? ago
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!
9mm is fine if you're some limp-wristed faggot, but if you have any hand strength at all most of the pro's align with .45 ACP.

I'm only 5'5" and 140lbs... but I still carry a .45. Granted it's a Glock SF so it's not as big as a 1911, but I can carry 10rnds.
