Thread: Poll: Which one would you rather be shot with?

Started 1 month ago by jehzsa
Out of a Sig P230 9x18 Ultra. A) 90 gr. GDHP/1075 fps; B) 95 gr. XTP/ 1075 fps; C) 100 gr. TC/ 1030 fps; D) 110 gr. LRN with a lovely heart shape/ 1050 fps; E) 124 gr. FMJ/ 1020 fps. Trying to be as considerate as possible. Penetration is not an issue.

I just attended a class which among many topics talked about tactical anatomy. One story was about a NARC team doing a no knock warrant. First guy through the door encountered a young teenage banger with a gun. Long story short the kid took two shotgun blasts of 00 buck (the first of which destroyed his heart) and two bursts from an MP 5 before he was neutralized. He still continued to fight for ...

I put a box through my S&W 442 j-frame. No accuracy problems but it did leave plenty of lead in the barrel.

It was fun browsing, but I soon found the Ammo page. And they have 22s advertised, Federals, too. In 2200 round boxes (now thats what I call a bulk pack.) The problem being they wanted $83+ change for them. They even had a big balloon with "Less than 4 cents a round!" Wonderful. Until the last election, I could buy 550 bulk packs for $13.47 each. It was less than 2.5 cents per pack. ...

I have a used P226 coming tomorrow, and went to a Wal-Mart this morning. They had 5-100 round boxes of the WW white box at $27.97. There were a few of the 9mm and .45 also. I almost couldn't buy it because the key wouldn't open one display case. I had the sales man open the one next to it and I reached in and was able to get my hand on 2 boxes.

papaac replied 3 months, 1 week ago
I was there this AM. They had a bit of 9mm, 2 boxes of .45ACP, and 5 boxes of .40 S&W. I took 2 of the .40, but left everything else for you.

Yeah ruger I thought so too. I hope for his argument he wasn't though. I don't know if there is a misconception between the ballistics between .22 and .223, but the two are not created equal. I really don't see how anyone well versed in firearms could confuse the two. Anyway in case anyone is wondering... .22LR 38gr (2.5g) HP = 1,260 ft/s; 134 ft•lb .223 36gr (2.3g) JHP = 3,750 ft/s; 1,124 ...

never having had to shoot through a car for " real " I would shoot through the glass, because of all the other mechanisms inside the door. I guess the door isn't too good for cover, more concealment, but it beats nothing. this can be an interesting read... http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/buickot3.htm

There's no good reason from the standpoint of material costs. Less popular cartridges are made in smaller quantities, though, and that drives up things like overhead costs. We see much greater price discrepancies when we get into the really exotic stuff. I'm sure that many retailers also raise the prices of less popular loads because once they're ordered there's less chance they will move right away. Of course, that can be...
