I was reminded of this thread by a conversation I overheard at a gun show the other day. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop but heard a couple guys talking about this. One guy was telling the other how he should get the 9mm because they've discovered in recent years that the 9mm is actually more powerful than the .40 S&W. Yes, more powerful somehow. He didn't know how, exactly, but those were the facts, Jack.
It's bad enough when you hear people in a shop spouting stuff that is just not true. It is VERY common. Things told at the watering hole and such. It makes me cringe a little when the damn help starts doing this. Especially when they are doing it to some newbie, like some woman, who is there seeking advice. At times it takes everything I have to not jump in and call someone out when I hear this, giving false and or bad advice to some poor gal who is just seeking info. This is how my Wife ended up bringing home an LCPII. Worked out since I love it and it became mine but, the counter guy should have been able to see it was not going to work for her. Yet he was all too all in on selling it to her of course.
