Glock Struggles!

[pizzamike]

Please educate me why everyone has left the .40cal if it's so much better? My small mind can't figure it out.

Yuck.

To each their own. To me a 9 is good for ringing steel at the range and I have a CZ Shadow II to prove it. My daily carry is either a Gen 4 Glock 22 in 40 S&W or a Gen 4 Glock 32 in 357 Sig. For IWB carry I have a S&W 40 Shield with a drop in 357 Sig barrel depending on my mood.

To each their own. I carry strictly 9mm. Did it in the Marines, LE and now as a civilian. I see no reason to change.

More recoil. Ammo is more expensive.

You're just justifying my reasoning to stick with 9mm. Haha. Throwing out all the Cons of .40 haha.

Sounds like an excuse for a dude with small hands. How big are those booger hooks of yours?

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

Big enough to get full purchase on my little wiener.

 

[oremike]

Which 40 do you carry?

I have 3 of them, a gen 4 Glock 22, a Mod 2.0 S&W 40 Shield and Sig P-229. The Glock tends to be my toss in the center consul got to go to town gun, the Sig is my OWB with a long tailed winter shirt and the S&W is IWB

Was he banned the first time and that's why he is back under another identity? I don't know as I had him on ignore and didn't follow his final posts.

What makes you think it was him?

I'd love to try .357 sig in a Glock. .40 is such a great caliber and fun to have more power than 9mm. Peopel who are not smart downplay it cuz it's not "cool" to have one now. Just like those that downplay .41 magnum. That bubblegum will bubblegum you up but they think it's not cool because everyone is shooting .357 or whatever. Small minds.

Food fight !

Should be obvious if you read his posts.

So apparently I'm another member you had an issue with simply cause I don't agree with you?

Yea too much. It's cuz I've been watching that "Sherlock" show... I just put him on ignore and can go back to being peaceful.

 

[pizzamike]

All his posts disappeared. Guessing this means he ignored me too? Sorry you're not gunna get the show you were hoping for. My apologies. Haha.

In the late 70's (Navy) and early 80's (ORNG) I carried and worked on 1911's. I poo-pooed the 9mm way back then and have only in the last 10 years come to own one. Here is a question for you, If you weren't mandated to carry 9mm and had the same unlimited supply of ammo of whatever caliber of choice would that still be 9 or is it possible you'd like something different? You see I'm in that boat. I own an ammunition company and can shoot as much of whatever I want when I want. That's why I say the 9 is good for wanging steel but the 40 and 357 Sig is better for carry/self defense.

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 used 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.
