Some compare a 9mm +P+ to a .40 S&W
Do they really match up?

there's a "feel good" factor for folks who buy into the "gotta start with a 4 crowd"I was just wonder because other than capacity per mag I don't see the

I think a better comparison would be the 9mm +P+ compared to either .38 Super or .357 Sig since they are the same diameter and use some of the same bullet weights.Some compare a 9mm +P+ to a .40 S&W

Then we should all carry 22lr/mags then?There is no such thing as "stopping power."
The internet tells me that if you shoot someone with 9mm, they will stop to brush it off and laugh at you. So I think there is such a thing!
Two to the chest and one to the head makes irrelevant any internet commando keyboard nattering about bullet weight, velocity, bullet construction, gelatin tests, "stopping power", kinetic energy or any other gunmag scribbler inspired nitwittery.
I can't make 1150fps with WW M882 ball in my 92 Beretta. I don't think NATO spec is even close to 1300fps.
Barrel length has nothing to do with viscosity(?). Viscosity is 'stickiness' or density of liquid.

Tell me that not a single person will die from a .22rf bullet wound next year! Tell me it ain't so.
The article that I read seemed to endorse 147 gr JHP. Since I have not found a +P HP round that weighs 147 gr I have not bothered with +P. This is all referring to 9mm ammo, by-the-way.
remember that the +P and +P+ rates aren't an indicator of speed, but of pressureFederal's HST comes in a 147+P loading, it isn't that much faster than the standard pressure, box claims 50 FPS difference
you won't find any +P rounds in .40, because the round is already loaded to those pressures...remember that the .40 is a compressed lightly loaded 10mm
i think you're mistaken. .40 actually has a lower max pressure than 10mm. the reason you won't find +P ammo for .40 is there is no SAAMI specification for it and I don't think there will be soon because the .40 cartridge case is not as beefy as the 10mm case.9mmepiphany said:you won't find any +P rounds in .40, because the round is already loaded to those pressures...remember that the .40 is a compressed lightly loaded 10mm
