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

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.
