Settling the caliber debate once and for all

[Connor Murphy]

9mm vs .45 ACP: Retro Edition - Lucky Gunner Lounge

Lol!

(The video didn't embed, but watch it!)

That was hilarious. That is one tactical tin can.

 

[ZS27]

The end of pistol caliber debates is 10mm

 

[BlackRyder]

I think anything larger than a 22colibri is overkill but to each their own I guess.

 

[Connor Murphy]

It certainly has its charms.

 

[Connor Murphy]

The 10mm I mean.

 

[PaulB47]

That sure was funny.

The bullets bouncing off that tin can reminded me of the time a friend of mine was showing me his new Ruger Vaquero. We were shooting .44 Magnum 300gr bear loads at a rotten fence post and could see the bullets bouncing off. We were scratching our heads trying to figure out what was wrong until we saw the rollmark on the barrel: ".45 Colt". The gun shop gave him the wrong gun. Rim size of the two calibers is the same.

Hmm, maybe us HiPower guys find this funnier than you 1911 guys.

AND you can get a HiPower in 40S&W too!

HiPower, 1911; all in the same JMB family...

HiPower, 1911; all in the same JMB family...

Agreed. Pick of the litter in 9 and 45.

Still didn't click.
I remember me and my buddy (decades ago) were out and about. He shot a top-facing tuna can with his beautiful 3" stainless SW .44 special loaded with gee willikers 180gr silvertips (golly!).. it holed the can and liquid dripped out.
I shot another with a BHP w 115gr silvertips standard pressure and there was a tuna fog twenty feet in circumference.. can shredded.
anyway, I've been shooting 9mm at stuff for a long time

The .45ACP round is old and slow and frankly the cartridge just stinks to high heaven. 9mm all the way!!







Great video, loved the bullets bouncing off the can. I own more than one gun for both calibers and enjoy them equally! That was just too good to not watch!

 

[The Heretic]

I came, I didn't click, I yawned.

You missed the 9mm bullets bouncing off an empty tin can. That by itself was worth the click.

 

[The Heretic]

Case closed.

.45 can take out a tank

 

[BroncoFan]

Blasphemy!
Next thing you know they'll be peddling hipster coffee and beard glitter!!
Honestly, I'm going to show that video to my next class when I have a knowitall.
