That also applies if you label the left target "Glock" and right target "Springfield XDm"...

If you like guns made out of Zinc, you'll love HiPoint.

I was joking though. No one speaks good of them. Is their carbines any different than the handguns?

They do not have much finesse, and I think that they are also made of cast Pot Metal.

Definitely not Milspec.

.....................maybe Plinkspec.

9mm VS 45ACP Empty Re: 9mm VS 45ACP

Post by Claymore December 2nd 2015, 3:20 pm

Well, I wouldn't WANT to get hit by either.

They are both capable rounds.  In a Perfect World, a full 1911-Sized .45 is just hard to top, insofar as stopping power is concerned.

But other sizes have advantages - but they start to take away from the Perfect World .45 ACP cartridge.

A 9mm can give you a lighter pistol that may be easier to conceal, that may be easier to control, that may hold more ammunition - but you give up the full power, and a .452" hole vs a .356" hole, and the dwell time of a .45 round.

At the Special Forces Weapons Course, we fired rifles, pistols, machineguns, and antitank weapons from the U.S., China, Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Canada, England, the Soviet Union, and a few more that I have forgotten about, due to Chronological Decay .  

We were still in the Vietnam Era, and so we thought of our mission as likely to take place in Asian or African jungles.  Someone asked me which of these weapons I would want to use.  I said, "The 11.5-pound Thompson Submachinegun, if I had a Porter to carry the gun and ammunition for me".

Some in civilian world forget the Army uses fmj .45acp instead of hollow point. A lot of what I read is handgun stopping power is a myth.

I'm not offended.

My personal experience was that, for my first five years, I was a cop doing Patrol and General Investigations.  You wind up kind-of keeping track of how many of names of your known "customers" are read-off in Roll Call of having died (gunshot, knifing, beating, run over by a train:really).

Then I went to the Drug Unit and continued to somewhat keep track.  It wound up that I was recognizing about 4 to 5 times as many of our "customers" whose deaths were reported (all of the above paragraph, plus drug overdoses and deaths in drug robberies).

So the moral of the story:

Persons in the Drug Culture are not 4 to 5 times as likely to die as normal citizens.

Persons in the Drug Culture ARE 4 to 5 times as likely to die as common dirtball criminals.

I didn't mean that to say handguns can't stop at any caliber but agree with you Chris on people are lame who think there is ever a one shot kill based on larger sizes. Shot placement is critical even unintentional as it was.

Well let's resurrect this old thread...

A friend gave me an Armscor 1911 double stack for my birthday a few weeks ago. Haven't shot it yet because, as usual, I've been too busy to take time to do something "fun" like that.

I've done some research and found that the Armscor's are a entry level offering, but at least I'm in the .45 club now!

Speaking of Armscor, that same friend was telling me about another round that he loads for called a .22 TCM. Apparently Rock Island makes a 1911 type pistol that takes this load. Anyone heard of it? Link below:

.22TCM is a odd round

40grain .22 bullet in a necked down 5.56 cartridge. Small bullet & lots of powder.
Super fast

I just looked at the data on the .22 TCM.

Shooting the 40 grain bullet at 2070 fps, it develops 381 foot/pounds of energy. That is about the same as a full-house .45 ACP.

Shooting the 40 grain bullet at 2800 fps, it develops 696 foot/pounds of energy. That is about the same as a full 10mm.

That's kind-of screaming.
