Do you work with Joe Duff? He just returned from there.

 

.40 FTW.... my father-un-law is retired FBI. Wouldn't let me get a 9mm.. but then again, he was a drug and anti-terrorism guy...

I have a .44 superblackhawk cowboy action if you want to feel a kick..

 

The 40 SW (short and weak) is a good round but substantially better than a 9mm or a 45? Not so sure anymore. Think it only offers another 30-40 ft lbs over a 9mm. That extra weight and diameter positively affect terminal ballistics but enough to warrant another firearm/ammo? Maybe but as an initial purchase, I don't think so.

 

Also caliber discussions are like ar vs ak, glock vs m&p, Icon vs king. All close enough it probably doesn't mater, all just personal preference.

 

I just recommend for a multiple gun Initial purchase to get something that has common ammo/parts. Say a glock 17 for a full size house gun and a glock 26 for an underwear gun. Same defensive ammo, same training ammo, share magazines (17 in 26), same method of operation, cheap to purchase and shoot. Then branch out and expand the collection.

 

I was thinking about a Sig and a Glock, and maybe a Beretta just for M9 fam

 

I have 9 and 40, no 45 or 22 yet.

Glock 19 and Glock 23

 

My 2 pennies is aside from statistical ballistics the ability to reacquire your target in the real world is a reason why I compete with a 9mm and carry a .45

 

Compete? Let's hear more about this..

Carry? I would also like to hear more about this..

 

IDPA and USPSA and you can legally conceal in states that allow it with the proper permit...

 

"Carry" as in not in Hawaii then..

 

Correct, I CCL where permitted as I travel often.

 

Basically the 5 states that WA and 35 states that FL have reciprocity with.

 

Ah... you must like security..

I used to travel with Firearms, pain in the ass... Reason why we have a some long guns left in Zimbabwe

 

Actually that's ironic. I always travel with a firearm. Only way you are allowed to have a case that can't be opened by anyone else but yourself.

 

I don't know him. A lot of people come here for DPAA like me.

 

AR, Glock, and King please

 

Hi new to thread.
