So, here we are again, to talk about 9mm and .45 which is more powerful and durable, althought it is not the main topic but it is related. In the exchange of ideas it is mentioned here also about penetration and the different grains of bullets, weights and velocities.
Some prefer light weight, others prefer heavy bullets. I keep reading always the description and effectiveness of every kind of bullets made from different manufacturers that were placed in the internet and all justifications are all good.
I visited
WWW.firearmstactical.com and they gives so much emphasis on penetration as an effective criteria of bullets. But still they give more important to the big diameter bullets as factor for a better bullets.
What I do now, I will buy all kinds and put every kind in my 4 magazines, so that I am equipped with all the good bullets described.
In the range I only used reload as it is cheaper even I used 150 rds per session so I disregard the loads as I just buy over the counter, but for self defense use - I select my favorites "the heaviest and fastest".
Majority of my research, they prefer the .45 of any make. If I have a chance to own another forty five I'll choose the Sig Sauer.
