Hot take. I love shooting .45 but I'm a poor and I imagine myself getting jumped by 5 doodz with skimasks and I gotta get to that krink ASAP.
Yeah, capacity is a real thing. I've noticed the difference with my 17rd VP9 kitchen sidearm vs my much loved friend the HK45C. 10 onboard vs 17.
Krinks are the hottest AK.
Noticed the difference in all your many gunfights with both?
Actually yes, the last time i got caught fucking your mom it was pretty touch and go there. Barely made it out in time, which is why you don't have a younger brother, yet.
Capacity made a difference as there was quite a line for her.
And bby, you take this way too seriously for a guy using the name of a dude who literally killed a dude in a duel with a practice sword carved from an oar.
Lighten the fuck up.
Also? Tell your mom to call me.
Ok, child.
At this point, if you cast bullets 45 ACP might actually be cheaper to shoot than 9.
All pistol calibers are essentially $0.60 a shot these days new, large pistol primers are easier and potentially cheaper to get than the small ones due to demand, and powder charges in the two rounds are about identical.
The biggest different though is pressure. 45ACP as a low pressure cartridge has FAR longer brass life than 9mm. You can basically shoot it until the necks crack from work hardening, especially in a fully supported chamber.
Also, you can use much cheaper lead alloys for bullets in 45ACP -- again due to the lower pressure. The alloying elements used for hardening, while only a couple of percent by mass, generally account for more than half the cost of a projectile.
With 45ACP you can get away with the bare minimum tin content that you need anyway for mold fill out. With 9mm Para you are going to need to get your hands on some antimony/aresenic bearing alloy, and with the rise of lead free wheel weights that is getting annoyingly expensive.
