Poll: 7+1 of .45 ACP vs. 10+1 of .40 S&W

[STEVE M]

If the choice was for me I 'd pick (and did) the 7rnds of 45. But you wanted

us to choose for you. If you are unsure about stopping power (whatever

that is) and recoil enough to ask, then I think a few extra rounds might be

more comforting so I picked 40 for you.

Now that you have "exposed" the gun in question I'll give my $.02.

I own the Mini9 which is the same as the .40. I handled the the .45 while looking at the 9. I know the specs look very similar, but these guns definetly have a somewhat different feel. I would really try and get your hands on both guns side by side. I had a hard time finding them locally. I finally found them both at a gun show to handle them.

Id trust solely on the .45 ACP over the .40 S&W

.40 S&W in a Glock 23. Great combination. And I actually get 13+1 with it!

If you need more than 7+1 you should'a brought an extra mag.

 

[doofus]

Wow...way to resurrect a 3.5 year-old thread.

 

[mattw]

Wow I didn't even look at the date.. I just saw it at the top of the Autoloaders page.

Some people will do anything for a post count

 

[Walkalong]

What gun. It makes a difference. I voted .45.

Welcome to THR?

Wondernine, youd throw out 115 grains before you would throw 180 or 165 at the almost the same speed? That defies logic. But you know what they say, to each his own.

 

[possum]

i say the 10+1 rds of .40 for the simple fact that ammo is cheaper and therefor cheaper to shoot. which allows for more trainning value for less money and allows you to get better with the weapon.

 

[03Shadowbob]

I didn't notice the date either. But my, how things have changed in 3 years. For $350 I'd go with a PT145 and have 10+1 rounds of .45
