Question for the Glock gurus - Ken Valentine - 05-05-2008

Boy, do I understand THAT!
I don't have a herniated disc, but a compressed disc and Sciatica tend to be rather distracting as well.

Understandable!
I like the 45 as well, but don't underestimate the 9mm. As I said, ballistically, it fits right in between the 38 Special and the 357 Magnum.
I run my 9mm handloads in the Beretta at 1250 FPS with a 125 grain bullet. That gives me 434 Foot Pounds of muzzle energy. Standard military hardball in a 1911 has 356 foot pounds of muzzle energy. (230 grain bullet at 835 FPS.)
45 or 9mm? Neither of them are anything to take lightly.

i don't underestimate it. but i AM a better shot by FAR with a .45 compared to a 9mm. i sitll hit with both, but more of a marksman with the .45. maybe its the loads.
Question for the Glock gurus - GunslingerAW - 05-05-2008
I like the .45 I have 2 one is my duty gun a Glock model 21 that I carry. The oother one is a Glock model 30 that I carry off duty as my personal defense gun it has a Jarvis threaded barrel, which I plan to buy another suppressor for with my stimulus check. Both are .45's. I think the .45 is an altogether better round. I was hoping that Jack would eventually go back to a .45 for his "duty" gun. A Glock model 30 would fit very nicely in a SOB holster. I know mine does.

I miss the Stemmering. That sounds like a good gun.

Could be the gun too. Have you fired them on paper from a rest?
