I say the 9mm, I've got a Ruger SP-101 but I prefer my Beretta 92FS-P for range shooting. Ammo is cheaper than the 40 and it's less taxing on the body to shoot.

Less taxing on the body oOo:


I stil llike the .40 S&W...or a .357 sig over a 9mm. But 9mm is acceptable.

Thanks for the votes. Shot the .40....had fun. Good day all around.

Buy a Walther P22.

I held one. they are soooo tiny happy:

To bad its only a .22

Get a Glock 17, youll never regret it. calmdown:

I'm a compact fan..Glock 19 all the way happy:

Too small dude, it feels like a peashooter after the 17. biggrin:

Too bad they don't have the Nobel prize for being Kickass, because that's what Arkan would receive!

Arkan - the next Chuck Norris?

9mm.

its the same Cailiber! lol

I love Compacts a lot though.

Also what bad ass do you know who uses a 9mm!? lol

9mm are useless unless you use good ammo. This used to be a Detroit but they have moved. http://www.corbon.com/ Some of the best ammo made. It will make your weapon more powerful

Shoot a baby.

I use 9mm as soon as I can. Standard Army issue. biggrin:

Stackem: m/39B is the 9mm ammunition used today. It was delivered in the beginning of 1955. It has a extra ordinary thick jacket that prevents it from deforming easily, and that makes it better in penetrating hard targets. Some examples: It goes through 50 layers of kevlar or 20 cm of wood or 7 cm of brick. The jacket of the projectile also leads to a higher tear and wear on the weapon. Some figures point at up to 25% higher wear on the barrel when using m/39B ammunition compared against normal 9x19 ammunition.

Thats the stuff our army uses, and the Glock was about the only gun that could handle this ammo for a longer period of time without taking too much wear. i.e., the Police here uses the Sig Sauer P-228, and experiments were made with the m/39B. The resulsts was the tha barrel of the P-228 cracked after around 6000 shots, which the army saw as not acceptable for a army sidearm. Hence, they scrapped that idea and went for the Glock instead, since it had proven to be a lot tougher than most guns tested.

End of todays lesson.

compare ANYTHING the army gives you to CorBon ammo, you will be amazed

lol, the thing is that the 39B ammo is made to shoot through engineblocks. I doubt most civilian 9mm ammo can do that.
