9mm, .40, .45 what's the BEST

[88E30M50]

The real difference in calibers is in how we get to insult each other. .45 carriers get grief about their walker mounted holsters. .40 carriers are commitment-phobic people that can’t decide if they want big-n-slow vs tiny-n-fast so they try to chose both (or neither). 9mm carriers build wrist muscles via grande latte crunches and can pretty much only handle recoil in small doses.

Other than each caliber giving us a different way to give each other grief, they are pretty much the same. Nuanced differently but not by much.

I hope I offended everyone here. Feel left out and I’ll give it another shot

I have this possibly very flawed belief that an avg human bad guy needs around 1400 ft lbs of energy to stop them from doing bad things. So with that failed logic I find that my 9mm loads avg around 320 ft lbs of energy this its going to take at least 4 shots from my 9mm to make the bad guy stop being bad. My 45 acp is around 450 ft lbs of energy its going to take a minimum of 3 shots to stop the bad guy. My 10mm produces 730 ft lbs of energy so 2 shots should stop the bad guy with my failed logic of course.

My 22lr Taurus TX22 shooting CCI stingers it would require 17 shots to stop the bad guy with my failed logic of needing 1400 ft lbs of energy.

So with my failed logic if it is a handgun or a pistol caliber carbine, just pull the trigger until the bad guy stops doing bad things.

Your logic is failed.

Lol I mentioned that several times

Don't leave us hanging. How is it bad logic? I don't necessarily agree with it but if you feel that it is wrong, tell us why.

Just having some fun with Dadsmith

His post makes a lot of sense.

I was not offended, at all, by your practical analysis of our personal preferences and bias'.

Please try harder next time.

I read this to my wife, all she said is her 22 will do just fine.

Is 5 days later considered necro-posting?
