Hot take, people who hate .45 have limp wrists.
I like guns that kick hard, including .45s.
I just feel disgusted when someone says ".45 ACP is just as good as 9mm!" No, it's not, lol. 9mm is way better when it comes to ballistics.
Talking penetrative power or energy transfer?
Honestly, I have to give this one to the 9mm guys. Energy transfer is more a product of projectile design.
That's the real reason modern projectile design has closed the gap between the various service calibers, even though it has been applied to all of them. With really good (or at least equally good) projectiles, performance really does start to scale linearly with kinetic energy. 45 still has the edge there, but no where near as much edge as it had back when frontal area of an unexpanded projectile was our main metric for lethality.
Fair enough.
I still like both with .40 thrown in.
Guns are the fucking coooolest.
TIL .45 acp kicks hard
Right? Yet somehow it's also the favored caliber of arthritic old men?
I don't know. I actually still favor the 9 for most practical purposes, but my inner Fudd is really shining today. I honestly kinda miss carrying a 45.
