Yeah, alright. IDGAF what they call it in a different language. In America chili with no beans is ****** soup.

Mightyox you certainly have a way with words.

9mm w/SD ammo is fine.
When no 9mm SD ammo is around, .45ACP ball
- makes pretty much just as big a hole.

 

[NCWizard9657]

it comes down to what you like, and what you can afford.

As an old former Marine, I am married to the .45 acp.

gotta see your kids.

.40

I would love to get a 6"-1911 set up for the .45 Super.
Plenty of power and a pistol frame I'm familure with.
I find little difference in carrying my 4" or 5" 1911 in my Kydex open bottom holster on my right hip. I imagine a 6" 1911 would work just as well.

I see that Bull Armory makes a 6" 1911. Maybe next year - they all look the same to my wife. - LOL

460 Rowland.

They're all retro !

Letter necks and hard balls.

460 Rowland.

A viable option with about 800 ft-lb's of ME.
The .45 Super has over a dozen variations in loads going from just under 600 ft.-Lb's of ME, to close to 900 ft-Lb's of ME.

 

[d-lusional]

I say .45, because "if I'm gonna make a hole, I'm gonna make a big one." I'm switching to 5.7 though, because of the capacity and velocity.

I cant tell if it's sarcasm.

 

[AgingDisgracefully]

Depends. EDC: 9mm. Confronting an utterly fanatic violent individual: .45 +P

Either way use a highly engineered round

 

[RayR]

Shoot straight.
Shoot often.
Remember, a vehicle is the biggest "bullet" most people have available. - LOL

Buffalo Bore has 4 loads of .460 Rowland, all are over 900 ft-lbs.
Their highest .45 Super is 694 ft-lbs.
Their loads tend toward the high end of the safe zone, for whatever it's worth..

I used "Ballistics by The Inch" (BBTI) as my reference.
Buffalo Bore does make some good ammo though not always the "hottest"

Both have their place in the shooting world. Most have their favorite, others like me embrace them both.

Not at all. Say I had to choose between a 12 gauge or 10 gauge shotgun, and they have the same mag capacity. I'm taking the most effective round.

The other part about 5.7. I think everyone can agree with the first part.
