    best 9mm self defense round?

    I agree, the Fed 9BP is an excellent load. Even if it is a terminal ballistic twin to the Win 115 Silvertip in terms of penetration, expansion, energy, momentum, cavitation, etc. bare gel, heavy cloth: 115 Fed 9BP 9.9/.62, 11.2/.59 115 Silvertip 9.2/.66, 11.6/.57 Funny how...

    Federal 135 Hydra-Shok 9mm?

    AmmoLab? Over there as Broken Arrow... ;) Testing and war stories are fun, but see/hear enough of 'em w all the variation and all ya really conclude is... Ya never really know what your bullet is gonna do from your gun in your bad guy? Or how they are gonna react to whatever that is? All...

    S&w 5906

    Excellent pistol. The RCMP picked a DAO version for general issue over the SIG, etc; doesn't mean it's better, but it does mean it isn't "junk". ;)

    Y'know, the 1911 is just fine...

    Get what ya like, or flip a coin and like what ya get. I've been issued the M1911A1, have owned plenty of my own over the yrs from stock to custom Clarks and TRPs... Hard to beat when they are working right. Still like lottsa other guns better though... BHP, CZ75, PSP, USP, Glock, P99...

    Why I bought a Springfield XD9. Hmm...why DID I buy one?

    Yep, no mistake about it; the HS/XD is a single action/SA pistol. The Glock is a double action only/DAO pistol. The fact the trigger action feels so similar in length/weight of pull is irrelevant to what kind of action it actually is. So even though they feel like peas in pod, they...

    O.K. guys-talk me in or out of 10mm

    Coming and going... NIJ Standard-0112.03, Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers This revision of the standard deletes the 10mm and adds the 357 SIG caliber. The 10mm is great. But it wouldn't be my first/only choice for most things I do with pistols any more than a Hummer would be for...

    9mm insufficient?

    Skipped to the end... ... I'm sure I've read all the above before! ;) Are the 40/45/357 S&M "better" than the 9x19? Of course they are! Do I still prefer the 9x19? You bet I do! I can do more with less. When I use more, I do less... really don't care what anybody else can do/has done...

    Which Handgun Caliber(s) SHOULD our Military be using?

    Doesn't matter... ... somebody will find something to complain about no matter what it is. Trust me. Who gets pistols? Pilots, aircrews, cops, guards, investigators, couriers, operators... we didn't buy almost half a million of em since 1985 for nothing... somebody needed a new jacuzzi.

    Some Marines still carry M1911 .45's

    Let's get it all settled once and for all? Now that the Marines have proved the 45 is best, and the 1911 is the best 45... Do they wear boxer's or briefs? Roll their TP over the top or under the bottom? T or A? Less filling or tastes great? The blonde or the brunette? ;)
