I'm sure that isn't all that stopped.

All life function as well,,,,good riddance!

Penetration and size of wound cavity are important. Bigger bullet= bigger cavity. If its a carry gun get something u will actually carry. A .380 that's on u is better than a .45 at home. That said my carry gun is a kahr cw45 in 45acp.

:wo I just picked up a 10/22 Take down! Not the I-tac I wanted but another cool 10/22 to have around, great for running and gunning in the need arises.
:noon

9mm with HydroShocks work pretty well, but down here we don't have to worry about penetrating a bunch of layers of clothes either. For that I have something special :D

Nice M&P, Remo. I've been on the look out for a M&P45 full size with thumb safety for a few months now. I have a request at my old shop, if any of the vendors gets one in stock to snatch it up for me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have the full size 9 also and love them both

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was looking at the M&P in 9 and 40 at my local shop this week, but ending up walking out with the G17. Between those two and the XD, the ergos of the M&P seemed to suit me the least (I was kind of surprised at that). I still haven't had a chance to test out the ergos on the XDM

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I am just the opposite, the m&p suits me better than my 17 ever has :sh

Had my first KB! Not too bad, it was more of a case rupture. But it's kinda funny how it played out. All was shooting fine then all of a sudden the mag falls out of the gun, I look down and just did a, wtf again? Then all of sudden owww my hand starting hurting. Looking my hand over no blood :banger all fingers are there :noon then I look closer and see the outline of the mag release along my palm covered in black burns and also on my trigger finger, I thought it was kind of funny; only because I wasn't hurt.

Gun checked out ok and the grouping I was shooting for was nice and tight!

If your wondering about the "mag falling out again" part. Story behind that was I was shooting during a class using my G22 and during my run I saw my mag fall out. Kind of embarrassing but did a quick reload and continued my run trying not to laugh. :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Kinda scary bro

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

what gun were you shooting at the time?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My G19 the rounds were mine. 124 grain vitavouri n330 I think forgot the grain I reload at a friends place. I'm hoping it was just one of those weakened case failures because my 228 and carbine seem to like these rounds and judging by the grouping that I got the 19 likes them as well.

Isn't knock down power a myth though? Just reading some last night and it seems kinetic energy does not wound and temporary cavity does not wound. Which both are the result of the larger amount of energy from the larger bullet right?

Do you mean permanent cavity when you say wound cavity?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Knockdown power is a myth but hydrostatic shock is not a myth. And yes I meant perm wound cavity.

Gotcha thanks:tu
