    .45 ACP...is my preferred caliber.
    .40 S&W...fallback caliber, but it works!
    I prefer my .355 diameter bullet atop a necked-down .40 caliber casing!
    9mm itself...only in a pinch.

    The nine sillymeter Europellet! Favorite of Austrian pastry chefs worldwide. And since it makes such tiny holes, you can use the same target over and over again.

    Little sarcasm

    With the Europeans not having failures to stop and they've used the 9mm as a police round since like.1905 and the US's inability to medal in a lot of shooting and sports like the biathlon maybe it's not the caliber......just sayin

    Actually I think you got the math wrong.

    115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115+115=2300
    230+230+230+230+230+230+230+230=1840

    Math don't lie.
    Just checked the ole bag gun. 180 gr Gold Dot times 13 =2340gr. Yeah, it's a Glock 23. And apparently my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

    I really do not care.
    If it punches a hole through the jerk coming at me.
    I can punch some more holes fast.
    I really do not care.
    Two to the chest and one to the head.
    I really do not care.
