Never thought I'd see the day when people were bubbleguming about the .45 ACP...

I must disagree! Some of my fondest childhood memories are of sitting around the wood burning stove, listening to the old men who knew guns, arguing 9mm vs .45.

 

[bbbass]

Yeah but in this case , like all others.. What I say is fact...what others say is opinion....

That's a fact Jack... er, Andy!!

When he got to the .380 being a better round I checked out. So your mouse gun w 6-7 rounds is better than a 1911 with 8-9 rounds. Pure Genius

Thank you for keeping me from wasting 7 1/2 minutes of my life...

He used to EDC a Chiappa Rhino in .40 S&W so that might hurt his credibility, but he's still right in that video.

Yup, I bought a .45 carry off of that dude. Good guy and good transaction, but once I stopped laughing it hurts to admit that his cracks about big holes and voting for Hillary are as on the money as his .45 not having any carry advantages comments.

But... but... but.... Its environmentally friendly!

Without our green Earth what would us clowns do? Aside, from you know, using our superior intellect and clowning to build a spaceship to mars.

You mean for that return trip to Mars?

Nah, we didn't come from mars. No life has ever existed on mars. Believe NASA and your government.

We went from $2.79 just a few months ago to $3.26 today. $4/gal is redunkulous!!

It's 2.50 in Vegas and 2.90 in troutdale

The .45acp is just a big .380acp. Same speeds but bigger bullets.

I wonder this: If any of us had the massive handgun collection that he has, would we also be changing out our carry gun frequently too?

Would that not be a temptation to do?

I don't care about a fighter that has practiced 1000 kicks, but a fighter that has practiced one kick 1000 times.

I can pull the trigger an anything I own. It will go bang.

Is 45acp awesome in Hi-Point?

"Ball ammo , the 45 wins hands down."
And there you have what it does better than the rest. 9mm has indeed killed a lot of people, but you shoot to stop, not to kill. With modern ammo the 9mm, .38, .40, .45, et.al. are all pretty close in effectively stopping an assailant. Whether or not the orc dies is irrelevant. If for some reason I was limited to ball, rnl, ogive with meplat, etc. I would choose the .45.
In any case it doesn't suck, and is hardly ineffective by any measure.

That guy went bonkers years ago. He might be better off sticking to a shotgun

Yes it is ! !!!! But Hi Points are better in 40 as that it what mine is and that is all I am going to buy. I can barely hoist a Hi Point 40 into shooting position, a 45 would be even heavier.. Thank goodness mine is the lighter Poly version.

While we are at it, I don't think 45's are as bad at losing muzzle velocity with a short barrel like 9 MM is. Also I have noticed that their are not many 45 barrels below 3.3", just an oddity?

The 9mm is less barrel length dependant. It wasn't designed around a 5" barrel.
