Overload one round and underload another and you can get them pretty close.
(and, make no mistake, anything labeled +p or +p+ IS an overload, just a factory sanctioned one.)
I'm willing to bet 17 rounds of 9mm can stop more threats than 6 hot .357 rounds.
Possibly. Now look at the other side of the same coin...
17 rounds of 9mm endangers more innocent bystanders than 6 hot .357 rounds.
17+1 equals 3 cylinder loads from a revolver (or one from 3 revolvers
), so isn't it fair to say the 17+1 9mm is three times more likely to endanger innocent bystanders?? (or just twice??
)
(no, that's not reality, but it is math...)
And, please, don't try to sell me on the 9mm because its what all the cops are using nowdays. I'm not a cop, and what the cops find best suited to their needs has VERY little to do with mine.
Also remember that being able to shoot faster, easier, and more often does NOT automatically translate into more hits, or hits in the desired stopping zone. It might, but its not a given.
.357 and 9mm, load both the their full potential, compare honestly, and tell me they're "equal"? Not buying that, nor the bridge you'll try to sell me next...sorry.
