I have 500 rounds of .45 GAP, which means I have 12x as much of it as 6.5 Grendel. I haven't had access to a .45 GAP since ~2009. The Grendel is my lightweight deer gun.
Shooting my .40 Glock long slide with a Trijicon on top. Unbelievable
I think it's that guy's my age grew up with 45acp and 9mm so my friends my age don't load for 40. They all have 40s but don't shoot them much.Interesting comment. My first (I now have two) .40 S&W pistol was a result of ammo shortages and lack of availability of 9mm. Eventually, I acquired dies for 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP and .380 ACP, because components were more readily available than ammo. I had a good stock of ammo on hand and eventually the ammo shortage ended. Looking back, the only one of those newly acquired sets of dies that I have used is the .40 S&W. The other stuff I was able to replenish my factory ammo supplies and still have a drawer full of bullets for future use. Sitting here now, I'm not completely sure why that is.Historically, I've reloaded a lot of rifle cartridges and a ton of revolver cartridges, but the only semi-auto so far is the .40 S&W. Other than getting my hands on a few pieces of AMERC brass, my reloading efforts with that cartridge have been 100% satisfactory.
(If the above paragraph confuses you, you're not alone.
I grew up with 9mm and .45 acp as well. I was in my 50's when I picked up my first nine (and first Glock). Later I traded into a .40 S&W Shield - my favorite carry gun when my son isn't packing it. He has developed a fondness for packing it while bowhunting.
Russian disinformation! Gaslighting!
Right on, dude. Glad you're happy with your choices
It's the Nickelback effect. They like their Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Puddle of Mudd, and Five Finger Death Punch, but their friends make fun of them for listening to Nickelback because someone's older brother said the music sucks. Then it spread like wildfire to the point everyone had heard someone trash talking it. Less and less folks want to say they like it out of fear of being shunned by the community. They then start trash talking themselves because it makes them feel included and welcomed into the community. It becomes an invalidated standard, and those that speak against it become the black sheep.

Great, now I have Nickelback stuck in my head. Gonna have to stream some Creed to get it out.
9mm being re-adopted by the FBI is definitely part of it. I'm still a firm believer that the .40 is just as manageable as the 9mm with just as much proficiency, if not more. It packs the stopping power of a .45 in a 9mm sized frame. I like it. The 9mm Hellcat though... gotta say I like that one too.@Richo877 Interesting analysis. That could certainly be and would explain the (metaphorical) trajectory nicely. I would imagine the Bureau going back to the 9㎜ Parabellum might have had some effect as well, but who knows. (And I am embarrassed to admit I didn't know a single one of those music groups referenced. But I still got your meaning.
30 Super Carry. So obscure I couldn't find a meme.
I used to work for a holster company. Glock sent us a a G37, G38 and G39 to build holsters for. We weren't about to let them go unfired, so we got a bunch of ammo. Didn't go though all of it, so now it helps weigh down my safe.
I make (or customize) most of the memes I post.
You can't tell me you're country if you don't even know who he is
