Glock Struggles!

[Flopsweat]

In all honesty with how far ammo/ballistics have come I'd definitely stick with 9mm. More capacity, easy follow up shots, same results if bullets are placed correctly and training is done.

I use to be a big .40 guy. In fact my first few carry guns were chambered in .40. I just think it's time has come and gone. I'd carry a 10mm before a .40 at this point. But over those two I'd still choose 9mm.

What do you think of 10 or 45 vs 9 in a PCC? Same, or less concern over greater recoil?

I don't have a valid opinion on that. I don't own or like PCCs personally.

For you it's come and gone but I own an ammo company and can say beyond a doubt 40 is still very popular. I'll give you that I sell more 9mm than everything else but 40 S&W, 45 acp, 380 acp and 38 Special are the next most popular. I would say the market for 9 is flatting out due to the flooding of the market with cheap bulk non US made ammo but the market for the other 4 calibers (and others) is growing.

Not saying people don't shoot or prefer .40. I was simply saying it doesn't have the standing/hype that it used to.

I can only talk to what I have seen personally which I'm sure is on a much smaller scale than what you see. During all the panic with BLM, Covid bs, 114, election cycles, ect when all the ammo shelves were empty there would always be a decent amount of .40cal sitting all alone while 9mm and .45 were nowhere to be found.

Maybe I should start using .40 haha.

I thought 1775usmc already answered that some years ago. But this is his new incarnation I guess.

1775usmc always touted using a micro pistol though, iirc.

No it was the opposite.

No it was the opposite.

I don't like peeshooters either, maybe I'm the Batman.

It was a trap. You wrecked it.

 

[solv3nt]

What are y'all on about?

The new 1775usmc, duh.

 

[solv3nt]

Y'all are hilarious and need a hobby.

 

[TTSX]

Well, we already kind of have a new arakboss, so might as well have a new 1775usmc

I think I know who he's talking about but don't want to offend anyone. Think ADD.

 

[Flopsweat]

Think ADD.

That's like half the people here.

Ok impulsive then. That's enough to figure it out.

No worries. The "new arak" if its who I think it is, seems to be a good guy, well intentioned, and trying to learn as he's new to firearms. But I'm sure will drive some crazy (which is totally understandable).

Yeah, nice guy. You could say he has a magnetic personality.
