I've often wondered why some folks seek to use +P ammo in a self-defense concealed carry weapon.
Won't a .38 special grievously injure an opponent? How about 9mm? Or what about .45ACP, and on and on? I'm sure that there is someone out there trying to figure out to CC a 500 S&W.
There seems to be a sentiment of needing more and more power and yet those extra FPS/lbFT make it more difficult to control the weapon and I'm of the opinion reduces your accuracy in a stressful situation.
Do out elite special forces see a need for these uber-powered rounds? All through the wars we've been in military calibers have been sufficient to the task.
My opinion is that 99% of the gun carrying public would be better served with a mid-power caliber and devote more time to range practice.
