Title: Best handgun caliber
Post by: tim808 on October 20, 2024, 04:18:27 PM

Reposting an old video for the younger guys that haven’t seen it.

(Spoiler alert - if you want a handgun that has the energy of a rifle/shotgun and can also defeat soft body armor, 454 casull)

 I think 22tcm, 5.7 and 7.62 tokarev can also go thru soft body armor  -  see Paul Harrells videos

5 rounds isn’t much, but canoes are a hell of a deterrent

I can’t afford 454 casull revolver or the ammo to train.   

Bought a 22tcm9R conversion kit (barrel, recoil spring) for a G19….still have to test if it is reliable.  Ammo is 0.50/round locally

Rogue cops after a hurricane - I think 9mm will deter a rogue cop with soft armor to seek low hanging fruit elsewhere
