I carry a .40 S&W
I have a buddy thats a detective in a city close by, was on SWAT befor he got into training. The dept switched to .40 from 9mm because they kept filling people messed up on meth full of 9mm and they would keep shooting back. The whole shoot them in teh head argument is great... If your target is standing still. In the real world you shoot center of mass, while they are moving around and shooting back your only shot at a head shot is by pure luck. Its not the hole that kills em... Its all the shit the bullet tears up and teh shock wave it send through the body. |
my cc is a desert eagle 45, and i know how to shoot it,

Understand this: Handguns are woefully inadequate in their stopping power as compared to a shotgun or rifle. So why do we carry handguns? Because we can! They are small enough to always have on our person for an emergency and they allow us to immediately respond in a defensive manner. (If you know you are going to a gunfight don’t be an idiot with a handgun -- take a shotgun or rifle.)

Knowing that handguns are inadequate in terms of stopping power as compared to a shotgun or rifle should lead you to want to carry the biggest handgun that you can readily conceal, in the biggest caliber, with the heaviest bullet loaded as hot as you can handle it to deliver a couple of quick shots to the thoracic cavity or a single round to the cranio-ocular cavity of an extremely dedicated opponent.

You want big holes in your opponent and you want him bleeding through and through. That means you want large, heavy bullets that penetrate.

Focus on your ability, not the equipment, because it is YOUR ABILITY to place the rounds you choose to carry in your gun that will determine whether you live or die in a gun fight.

.45 ACP. Our grandfathers knew it in World War II and our grandfathers’ grandsons are figuring it out again in Iraq. A .45 stops ‘em best.

.40 S&W is the next best choice and in most handguns allows more magazine capacity compared to the .45ACP.

.38 Special and 9mm are in distant fourth place. You can plan on delivering a cranio-ocular shot after two to the chest to end the fight with these calibers.

.380, .32, .25, and .22 -- Don’t even bother shooting your opponent in the chest with these. Your standard response with these pocket pistol rounds is two to three rounds to between the mustache and eyebrows (cranio-ocular cavity).
25 is worthless as is the 32, the 380 is marginal as is the 22

If your carry gun is one of the smaller lighter calibers that is OK. You just need to understand that you must train that much more with a short sight radius, pocket pistol to be able to deliver fight stopping multiple rounds to your opponent’s head than you would if you were carrying a 1911 in .45 or a Glock in .40 caliber and delivering two shots to the chest.
Ummmmmm okay, playing puff puff pass again, full of fail and 1/2 truths.... Ever tie a balloon to a branch of a brush and then shoot at it at 7-15 yards...in a wind or a stiff wind as it's bobbing and weaving....

Please stay away from fragmenting bullets. Those bullets that are designed to prevent over penetration will get you killed. You WANT penetration. Because even the hottest handgun bullet is slow and mediocre compared to a rifle, you need all the penetration you can get. You want the greatest amount of linear tissue damage possible for the best chance of incapacitation (immediately dropping your opponent). You want penetration. Penetration is your friend.

So why not a .44 Magnum, .50AE, 10mm. etc? Because these guns require bigger frames due to greater chamber pressure generated and larger cartridge size, they tend to be very hard to conceal. These big guns, although they have slightly better stopping power than the .45 and .40, do so at the expense of portability, recoil control and practical use.

I'll take a Glock 19 9mm any day over a 40 short and weak & will have no problem dealing with meth heads....

Now if the gun is just to heavy, then you need to go to the gym.... I carry a full sized Springfield TRP 45 in a MTAC holster on a wilderness 5 stitch belt with 2 spare magazines for 12-16+ hours and it's not to heavy.... |
