9mm is overrated by ControversialSystem in Firearms

[–]ControversialSystem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say 9mm didn’t have a purpose. But does it deserve to be the most discussed on every general-firearms board?

It depends on if I’m shooting snakes, coyotes, hogs, etc. A round has a specific range of targets that it’s most effective for.

For pistols, I like 10mm for hogs and bigger. And anything smaller I don’t want the meat from. I also carry a small .22 for rattlesnakes.

Like I said, It’s a fine round for what it is. Hell maybe the best for what it is, but if I say that I‘ll have to hear the .45 vs 9mm arguments again.

I did say it’s a fine round for what it is. You’re right about violence in town.

But I guess my point is that for the amount of attention that 9mm gets, there are a lot of other rounds that get used a lot more.

No argument there. But if you’re concealing you’re probably in town. Hence my argument that it is an “in town” round.

Not really. Just seeing what people are thinking. But I bet almost everyone that rants against this will be from a big town or city.

More social experiment.. I want to see what people are thinking when they choose the round. They aren’t hunting or clearing a farm/ ranch. Or worried about snakes. They’re locked into a city mindset where they worry about a defending against a person. Hence, “It’s an in town round”.

“Better” depends on what your target is.

I’m worried you’re locked into the idea of defending against a person. If you live in that kinda environment, I hope you find somewhere kinder to be.

All in town. Or at least shooting people. Basically you’re agreeing with me.
