It was a joke. Not to mention I was slightly to fully blown hammered when I posted it. lolzers. I've never been one of those ".45 ACP or you might as well use a sharp stick" type of believers. People get killed with .25ACP...Originally Posted by 81911SC
I am still sticking to my guns (pun intended) when I say why carry a .380 auto (such as the not as tiny Sig P238) when you can have more kinetic energy delivered per shot from a same-sized pistol.
Cause some people are more accurate with a smaller round?
How could they be if the recoil is the same, or more, when shooting the smaller caliber?
Shoot a Kel-Tec P3-AT, then shoot a Kahr PM9 - see which one nets you tighter groups.
Shoot a Sig P238 and then shoot a Kahr PM9...you get the idea.
I will absolutely chime in when I see a larger .380 auto pistol being suggested when the same size frame (and lighter) 9mm luger pistol can be had.
Also good luck being able to practice with .380 auto - where will you be buying it again? I can buy 9mm luger and .40 S&W by hundreds of rounds from Dick's sporting goods down the street, or even my local Wal-Mart. Neither has .380 in stock...ever.
Can't be more accurate if you can't even go shooting due to no ammo.
If you want to argue I'm completely sober now.
Does it make you feel really, really cool to label someone's post as "stupidity?"
I see you're taking the wrong street, that's fineHow could they be if the recoil is the same, or more, when shooting the smaller caliber?

However,
I was debating the recoil of say a .380 vs. a .45 caliber. Also, each person is different and you got to look at gender when considering a choice. The "point" of ammo availability is irrelevant since .380 is purely an example.
Also, I'm not arguing you just made a joke of a statement (your words) and I was stating you had a good post besides that.
Understood, but there are more tactful ways to make your point rather than labeling something I posted as "stupidity" especially since it was a joke. It's like the old adage:
"If you think caliber "X" is so weak then how about you stand there and let me shoot you with it."
Then again I also like the one that goes:
"When is the last time someone said he wished he'd had a smaller caliber gun when the gun fight broke out."
