Glock 43

[thekkfan]

Interesting argument, I got a 43 and a 27, one for each hand, LOL! :cool2:

But sadly....... no .357 :confused3:

Look at the Kimber, I carried a Glock for years at work a good weapon but not a fan. For off duty and now in retirement I carry my Kimber no issues and shoots better than the full size Glock. Both are 45's but I found the Kimber to be just as dependable and dead on accurate. I'm also a fan of the H&K 45 and my son just picked up the 9mm and said he loves it

The .357 Sig is the best of both worlds for my 365 Sig.

Sincere question... do you own a .357 and do you shoot it often? I own one, but shoot it for fun and don't carry it.

You talk about a police office having to shoot a suspect 20 times with a 9mm (nah, accuracy has nothing to do with shooting a gun does it) but may I ask you, what police department uses a .357 magnum as standard issue?

Outdoor life? really?

My State Police uses a .357 magnum (New York).. and btw, the officers shots all hit the suspect!.

I have a Smith and Wesson mod 66 .357 that I carried when I first started on the job, yes it and I are both relics, but still enjoy taking it from the safe every now and then to put some rounds through.

A quick internet search (because I honestly didn't believe you) shows that the NY state troopers are issued a Glock in a .45 ACP caliber.

That said, I also have little doubt that if a .357 magnum were still being issued in some shape or forrm, some guys would be using 38 specials.

if you look here, the .357 magnum was issued prior to 1990. I haven't kept up on what weapons they used, but the .357 magnum was used for many years.. New York State Police - Wikipedia

Prior to 1990?

Math wise, that was 28 fricken years ago Whatch ya talkin about Willis??

I use to live in New York state (notice, I did not say New York City).

When I lived in NY, I use to despise New York City and all of it's surroundings, including albany.

Perhaps some country air (in "upstate" NY) will refresh your line of thinking (aka move out of long island).

Personally, have no use for most glorified highway state troopers myself...

For the record, if the OP likes the G23, BUY the G23!

Apoliges for the train wreck. Bound to happen though when talking about a 9mm LMFAO

It would probably be wise to discard 'supersonic' as any type of measurable and simply state projectile velocities. The speed of sound is not a measurable of any type, and as such, whether a cartridge produces a super/sub sonic projectile is irrelevant.

Actually it is. Do you use silencers? 300 BLK and .45 ACP regularly travel at subsonic speeds (around 1100 FPS). So it really depends on the application. I use supersonic and subsonic rounds in multiple calibers subsonic mostly for fun. That said, I guarantee no one wants to be shot with a subsonic round, even if it is a 9mm. With regards to self defense capabilities, shots on target are what count. We need to stop quibbling over cartridges and start thinking about more training.
