Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Case Closed: FBI Says 9mm Is The Best Pistol Round

I did not see anyone call you an azzhole.

What a mean thing to say.

I think the FBI should use the 10mm
and just tell the newbies to suck it up it is a condition of employment.

Yes that was mean and hurtful thing to say, why the campfire would not be the campfire without all of the unique train wreck personalities! Without our liars and psychpath's this place would be dull. For instance Lee24 and TAK and OLDwoman those guys were a real hoot. Then I guess we do have a few people who actually shoot or have done these things, you cannot tell the players without a program. My favorites are the SME's that actually get their SM Eggspertise off the internet.

I would never call a man a liar unless he is a Registered Democrat.

Bwahahaha!

It seems to me that instead of switching back and forth between different calibers the FBI needs to focus on training.
70 % misses sounds like they need to spend more time at the range.
I am sure I am way off base though. They just need some wire guided bullets.

FBI=accountants and lawyers with guns. Not exactly firearms gurus.

Bill Allard was involved in more gun fights than anyone else from the NYPD and it is said that he never missed a shot in a gunfight.

I know the ability to read is typically frowned upon here, but those statistics are based upon LE shootings across the country. They are not specific to the FBI.

Sounds like cloning Bill Allards is the answer.

Might work

Correct as usual.

Might?

Will.


Grin...

The FBI shouldn't be allowed to carry weapons.

They should carry or not carry under precisely the same laws under which residents of the various states within which they operate may or may not carry. They are not police officers, but merely investigators of Federal crimes. If they are operating within Chicago, for example, they should have to go about their business there unarmed like everyone else there does who's not a police officer recognized by that city. In Alaska or Vermont, they can carry any way they like at any time, etc., etc.,. The Constitution doesn't authorize a national police force, and what the Constitution doesn't authorize, it prohibits in accordance with the 10th Amendment.

You're right. They aren't "police" but they are federal Law enforcement I know many (probably all) have statutes allowing fFLE to carry firearms within each said state, but LEOSA covers that anyway

"Thou shalt remember thou art commanded by the Lord to take up the 45 when the Slakites come to smite you and carry away thy children, and two score and five is the number that shall lay thine enemies below the earth."

The Rock says this, It doesn't matter what they carry.

"Most of what is ‘common knowledge’ with ammunition and its effects on the human target are rooted in myth and folklore. … Handgun stopping power is simply a myth,” the FBI said in its report. “There is little to no noticeable difference in the wound tracks between premium line law Auto enforcement projectiles from 9mm Luger through the .45 Auto.”

I think one of the most obvious things being overlooked here is that the FBI is apparently only comparing the ammunition specified by their testing protocols; that is, the bullet should only penetrate 12"-18" regardless of caliber. Well, since they artificially designed each load to perform the same, no [bleep] that there's no difference between the three. If you take the FBI's logic to it's reasonable conclusion, if they designed a .380 load and a .44 mag load to perform the same, then there's no difference between the two and we can all carry .380's in bear country.
