[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2847727, member: 8377"] Hardware solutions to solve software issues is a losing game. The one thing in common for every successful shooting are effective hits with adequate penetration. Knock down power is a myth for handgun cartridges. If one fourth the time spent arguing over what round is better than some other round was spent learning how and where to put holes in a target to facilitate immediate incapacitation we would be well ahead of the game. Instead, we entertain our lazy selves with fights about what is arguably well down the priority list. It is this kind of thinking that allows companies like RIP ammo to make a buck. Im not saying 357 sig or .40 is a lost cause at least until i see how well someone can use it, under stress, in less than ideal conditions, against a diffcult to hit target. I know of peeps who are exceedingly effective with the .40 and 357 sig. But caliber selection isnt the difference between them doing effective work or failing. Anyone who expects to rely on a hand gun to stop violence owes it to themselves to find the combination of weapon, sights and ammo that is most effective for them. You wont get that insight by reading the numbers off a box of ammo, or from some article in the gun rag of the week. [/QUOTE]
