I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks.
9mm. = more rounds per clip.
And with those hot loads the 9mm's recoil and blast advantage quickly depreciates. The people that say what a huge difference there is between 9mm and .40 in recoil are usually comparing light 115gr. target loads with 165-180gr. standard .40 loads.Of course, it bears repeating that only the finest carry ammo need apply with a 9mm.
No way is +p 9mm loads near 40 S&W recoil. I just shot some 124 grain +p 9mm last week right after shooting 147 grain LRN in front of only 3.3 grains of HP38. There was little difference out of my M&P9c.
9mm. = more rounds per clip, cheaper to shoot, lower recoil.
40sw = excellent stopping power, very accurate round, less rounds per clip, more recoil.
That sums it up.
I agree with you, I could put a full 13 round mag of .40 on target, But it would take my twice as long to do it. The BG would bleed out from the first shot and drop before i could fire the last round accurately and hit him again.I LIKE .40 in a full size (service) pistol, in the smaller package, 9 is just easier to shoot well, I would rather dump my mag accurately than hit 3 time and miss the rest.
At the height of ammo shortages local Walmart had many boxes of .40S&W Federal 'Champion' FMJs at $14.97 per box. I'm think my next purchase will be $330 Zastava EZ pistol in .40.I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks.
