High Desert Wolf........A .40 S&W wimpy!?
I agree that the 9mm isn't in the same league (but I still wouldn't want to get shot by one), but the .40 wimpy?
Here's the ballsitics comparison of a .40 vs a .45 both in JHP Winchester White box
.40 (180gr JHP) Velocity Muz: 1010fps......50yds: 954fps
Energy Muz: 408 ft lbs.........50yds: 364 ft lbs.
.45 (230gr JHP) Velocity Muz: 880fps........50yds: 842fps
Energy Muz: 396 ft lbs.........50yds: 363 ft lbs.
Would you rather get shot by the wimpy .40?
I know i know....... 40's are good just not my bag of beans, but you cant replace mass with velocity, in that case i beleive a 45 acp has more knock down power for the simple fact its a bigger chunk of lead flying through the air. Also I am a reloader an prefer to reload 45 acp then 40 smith because i have had tomany problems with cases bulging and case head seperation with the 40 smith. asfar as being shot I wouldnt even want to be shot with BB gun let alone a 40 or a 45 LOL
