Which is better - 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45acp? - Page 2

Actually my favorite round of all is the .45 Long Colt. But firearms shooting it are usually too big for concealed carry.

Besides, I was just wanting to stir things up. But I can't get everyone disagreeing.

S&W 40 has less recoil for follow up shots,10mm has more knock down power.
My P11 fits my pocket better than my Taurus 1911.

.45 Colt is good. Damn whatever that hits just comes apart..

I agree. The .45 Colt has more knockdown power than the .45acp, .40 S&W, and most other common pistol rounds.

If you load it up heavy for a Ruger or Thompson Center, it will equal the .44 Magnum.

Heh! You posted that video that shows there is only millimeters difference between them, and expect to stir the pot?

Myself, I prefer the .45ACP. It is easier to reload than the others due to the (lack of) dexterity in my fingers.

Besides, bigger holes let more blood out of the zombies.

With zombies you have to scatter the brain matter to really be effective.

But if they are democrat zombies, they have no brain matter. So what happens to the empty brain pan?

I already had some moulds for 45acp,so for my cowboy gun I got a 7.5 Blackhawk in 45colt.

I like all three calibers (preferably with no mag limit on 9mm using the standard set by the Hi Power). In reference to the quote above, the bark from a shortie .45 without hearing protection is just painful. 40S&W of similar size is far more tolerable, 9mm pretty much moot. I had a snubbie .357 for a few years, a terribly fun gun but for defensive purposes the noise was too much for me. YMMV.

Well with price in the equation, then 9mm hands down. Don't care for the .40 short&wimpy, and the .45 ACP is just too slow. They both cost more to reload and cast for too.

(That ought to get it going.)

The one you can consistantly hit a 5" target with at 25 yards, anything closer is begging for a different fight.
