Title: I bought a .45....... because they don't make a .46
Post by: KFhunter on January 31, 2020, 08:45:25 AM: Ya, this should put that to rest.

This cop after an intense shootout ditches his .45 glock for a 9mm to hold more ammo.
His theory is now: quantity > bigger bullets

well worth the watch, and will make you think

I agree, and fully support the theory of 9mm in LE due to the amount of ammo an officer can carry. Same theory with the 5.56 in the military. Boils down for me, if your in a battle, not running out of ammo is better, no matter what your shooting. Its a shame there are evil people out there, wish this topic never had to enter our minds. Thankful for warriors who fight for good, and keep us safe.

G26 with a backup G17 mag is 26-28 rounds (or similar in other platforms) is hard to beat for compact, lightweight, and reliable SD firepower. Only the FN 5.7 and other 5.7 guns approach the same utility, IMO.

A G26, a G43, and I need to get another G17, G34, . . .
