Momentum yes. A factor in penetration all too often ignored. Expansion & velocity can be negated by inadequate penetration, sometimes caused by a combination of too much velocity for the projectile design and mass.Inertia being one not often discussed.
It is a caveat I throw in when comparing factors to reduce the number of variables. I.E., to isolate the effect of one variableTalking different calibers, "all things being equal' doesn't typically translate in real world application.
Just sayin....
Yet I would feel much happier deer hunting with a 250 Savage than a 22-250. Both cases are pretty much identical but that additional mass does account for something.Einstein said it best; "E=mC^2" (my phone won't let me put an exponent).
Velocity has MUCH more effect than frontal area. A 22-250 has WAY more energy than a 45 ACP does at any range. (Apples to Oranges for effect).
I do
I was just reading something today from a medical evaluation perspective that referenced .45 ACP statistically as the more lethal caliber of 9mm, 40 SW and .45 ACP comparing fatalities to GSW's.I think a 45 is better than either but a 1911 is a full size pistol that does not fit in your front pocket
Yeah. The only difference in a straight 9 vs 40 is the ejector.. which is only rarely an issue with some ammo/loads. Not that I've had any, but I "hear" it's possible and noticed by others. I can't recall what they were trying to feed it though. Some odd ball somethinorother..For "what was that" I've got two 9mm Glocks (G17, G26) and a G23 in .40. All are loaded with Speer Gold Dot, I'm confidant in that round in either application.
Worth mentioning is that the G23 with a LW conversion barrel and with G19 mags shoots 9mm flawlessly, with no other mods. I mean flawlessly; not one jam or issue in many hundreds of rounds.
I wouldn't volunteer to stand in front of either of them......
I heard it both ways, so I decided to try it with no changes other than barrel and magazines. Works flawlessly.....so.....if it ain't broke...... I've relegated the conversion to a range toy; for serious business it's the .40 Glock barrel and mags.Yeah.

Nope. It will still be standard mags for some of us in Oregon.After 114 becomes law and we are limited to 10 rounds, it will be 45 carry for me the majority of the time.

I thought we were all grandfathered....Nope. It will still be standard mags for some of us in Oregon.
Yup. As long as you keep them inside your home. They have to be stored and secured seperately during transport.. but... you can use them at the shooting range or while hunting.. once you reach your destination.I thought we were all grandfathered....
I may be wrong but I think there was some language in the bill indicating that you couldn't even carry with the mags you already own if this passes in Oregon. Only hat home/range. I may be wrong though. I hope so. Not like I care though.I thought we were all grandfathered....
You are not wrong. 114 prohibits CHL carrying a mag over 10 rounds. Only LEO and criminals, gang bangers are exempt.I may be wrong but I think there was some language in the bill indicating that you couldn't even carry with the mags you already own if this passes in Oregon.
