I really liked my friend's Glock in .40 S&W! Yeah, I agree the grip takes getting used to. |
Originally posted by millerdog Oh wait! After rereading the posts, I remember Sig came out with a bottlenecked cartridge. Was it .40 cal? Did it make IPSC major? md |

Originally posted by cyberhazard This is my baby. A Springfield Armory TRP in black teflon finish. This 'Tactical Response Pistol" is a 1911A1 chambered in .45 ACP. I use only Winchester Supreme 230gr SXT jacketed hollow point ammo. It has Novak tritium night sights and shoots under 2" groups at 25 yards. Holster is a Milt Sparks versa max II. |
Originally posted by millerdog If I remember correctly, the thing about the penetration and stopping power of the 9mm came into question after the FBI did gelatin tests which showed the 9mm hollow points it was using were not expanding, thus over penetrating. The .40 S&W was developed to correct this problem (help me out here guys). I believe the Bren Ten came out around the same time. Then companies like Corbon came out with +P ammo which also helped the 9mm expand. Apparently, the FBI was using subsonic ammo. The thickness of the grip on the Glock was my issue, especially coming off the P225. When I got into shooting, .40 S&W was a bitch to get. Even brass cost some bucks back then. |
