38 special equals 9mm?

I think they were both trying to fight their way to their rifles.

Looks like they didnt make it either.

Bullet configuration plays a great deal in stopping power, and the 9mm took a few years to come into its own. I now have a great deal of respect for the 9mm, especially the 115 grain JHP and the Federal 135 grain JHP Hydra-Shok 20-round pack. On the other hand, the round nose configuration is considered one of the worst, and there are numerous cases where people have been shot repeatedly and still keep on coming.

That said, many of the soldiers I've talked to returning from overseas have said they prefer the round nose. The high capacity appeals to them as well as its ability to penetrate heavy clothing and home made body armor.

There are a lot of great guns made for 9mm, especially the second- and third-generation S&Ws and the stainless Taurus models.




The Taurus stainless 9mm.

I know right. If we're not going to discuss and compare various cartridges and forearms on a GUN FORUM then what the heck are we going to post about?

The man?

Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to catch every stupid nonsensical substitution that android's autocomplete makes.

I used to keep tapatalks sig on so you guys could know why but folks got all bent out of shape over it.

Either way though it does provided some great comedy

Disable it and it will save you a lot of grief.

Whatever she can shoot quickly and accurately is what she should carry.

And one of key points to be able to shoot accurately is to be able to manage that RECOIL. I find that I can shoot much more accurately with a heavier gun regardless of the caliber. I can shoot more accurately on a .357 magnum with S&W 686 than I could on a .38 with a J frame, same thing on a 9 mm with a S&W 5906 than a 6906. The 5906 almost has no recoil. But also recognizing that a J frame serves a different purpose than a 686.

Well, you're not going to believe this, but I actually got her a .32 acp Kel tec. She likes it but doesn't shoot it much... I use it as a back-up carry most of the time. She is just going to take more time before she is interested in carrying a firearm for self-defense.
