THoughts on switching ammo for summer / winter

[9mm]

they claim it works with heavy clothing and bare chest lol

Bullets go through you unless you have Body armor designed for a caliber defence. I highly doubt a few layers of heavy jackets can stop a bullet, its just leather/fluff, it isnt kevlar. Any gun is going to kill, it's all about placement shots. Look at the wars, people were hit and kept fighting in some cases.

Want some stopping power? get a S&W 500


BTT, you should swap ammo once every 6~12 months. I have no idea how this topic on handgun ammo got to rifle ammo, thats not what the OP is talking about, he is talking about SD carrying. Not carrying a rifle

Do they make a S&W 500 in 9mm ?

 

[9mm]

No lol!!! a S&W 500 is a very powerful handgun and it shoots the S&W 500 caliber?

Look at picture.

S&W 500 is not a carrying gun. It's for hunting, unless you wanted to carry that monster... Good luck, and if you had to use it in SD I think the Judge would be hard on you.


If you are so fixed on "stopping power" get a 10mm or 44mag.

You say it's not a carrying gun?

I'm sure in some states it is, along with other stuff like the 14" barreled 460XVR

But being as this is a .500 S&W Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your hand clean off, if you were using a Taurus, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

No point in changing ammo. If your hollow point gets clogged and fails to expand, it will function the same as ball. I just carry the heaviest Hp round that I can.
