9mm,..... it's all about shot placement!

A .45 can knock a man backwards 30 feet, then kill them dead.

No lie.

Thought that was the Dirty Harry .44 Mag! :rofl:

They only do it 15 feet.

Is a 230g slug twice as good as a 115g slug?

No,...... you just shoot half as much!

I carry a modified G2630. It allows odd-even mag loading of 9 and 45.

I only carry it when I have my CCW badge displayed, otherwise, I might get into trouble.

I almost bought one of those, but it's too hard to find clips for it.

What is this .45 ammo of which you speak?

Begins with 10 and ends in 41.

Sometimes I load my .44 mag or .45 Colt down to really hot .41 mag or even 10mm levels.

:yawn:





...and 9mm is only good for stopping Europeans.

Paying more for .380 is best!

No, multitudes more of goodness. It's a logarithmic scale.

Damned straight! :rofl:

What's a 9 M&M, anyway? I like the green ones, even though they don't really do anything to you...

Also, regarding .45: are people trying to spell ACE or ASP after the numbers?

Shot placement and a .45 wins hands down!

Banging a midget is better than a 9mm or a .45. :whistling:

9mm = children's/socialist's cartrdge
.45 ACP = wimmin's/metrosexual cartridge
.41 Magnum = homie asking, 'what the hell did you just shoot me with?' cartridge
10mm = manly cartridge

.44 Magnum = Fist of God, homie's remains need to be strained to find identifiers. The Acme of Handgunning.

.45 Colt, no remains to be strained; just a fading pink memory and some ear ringin'.

The .45 ACP is so slow the bad guy will just side step out of its way.

The 9mm is so weak it just bounces off bad guys.

if you can't get it in a Deagle (none of this Beagle business), you're wasting your time.

So let it be written.

I prefer to carry a Beretta 74A loaded with Extreme Shock .32acp.

I prefer 22LR over both of those rounds for its power to ricochet around in the skull once it penetrates.
