Oh no, not this again....
I currently have a GLOCK 23 but a buddy of mine has a G30 that I really liked. I was thinking about getting a .45ACP pistol. So I was looking at some loads and was surprised to find that with Winchester, their FMJ (and silvertips too, I believe) cartridges in .40 S&W have more velocity and energy than the .45ACPs. It seems to me that the .45 is actually weaker than the .40 S&W. Am I missing something?
