Sadly no. I very much like the stock bull nose standard Collateral-like USP 45 and I'd like to own one, but I couldn't afford shooting it seriously, as everything outside 9 mil and 22 is far too expensive here and sometimes hard to find. Plus, gov allows me a restricted and fixed amount of guns, so minmaxing/rationalization is key, meaning it's 9 mil and some .22 all-in-ones for me (like Tactical models).

>>64694531
People threw a tantrum last thread because I read the data too hard and it showed 32 outcomes are very dependent on shot placement. It’s very okay provided you can shoot the attacker’s center mass.

9 statistically sucks as a big caliber. Which is why I said in DGU stats it only had a marginal advantage over smaller center fire counterparts (which is true) and the advantage was mostly just capacity.

This is why I decided to carry both 380/32 and 45/44. Mouse guns with optimal ammo are probably not significantly worse than subcompact 9 and when I want something bigger I use a light weight 44 revolver and dial the loads from standard 45 ACP to +p 45 energy.
>>64694814
I never said the 1903 was good. I joked about it being a bee sting levels of effective but better than nothing. I love the aesthetics and thin design though.

Also I like the archetypes and found their modern versions: PP’s modern is a 44 bulldog classic since you can’t beat lightweight, punishing rounds and moderate recoil. 1903’s “modern” is a PPK, it’s just as narrow, can feed JHP and exotic ammo which lets it bite harder, and it’s also drop safe and can DA/SA which is great since my revolver antics mean I’m used to that style.

Chill out.
I follow Browning’s high-low strategy and have bigger than 9 calibers (44/45) to back me up when shit gets real.
I’m probably the only anon this thread who reloads 44 special
>>64695176
It’s not optimal, I love obsolete guns and cute little guns and browning calibers and cowboy calibers. It’s the optimal obsolete loadout for weird outdated calibers.
32 is just good enough to be in the EDC game and it has an excellent German engineered platform, which they thought perfectly fine for protecting their staff officers, pilots and generals (actually the bong issued PPK to pilots too) And obviously that’s not enough for everything so I keep a lightweight inexpensive 44 as a truck gun/woods gun and I can dial up its ammo to something that will wreck anything in my area. I also make it my first choice for home defense. I’m getting JHP 44 for that reason. The bigger calibers like 45 and 44 can stop dangerous animals and work great in the wild and I found a cheap and lightweight platform while the little 32 is only relied upon in civilization where it would be in polite to carry a big gun and it’s OK on anything up to human size. It’s OK.

Even if I weren’t obsolete maxing I would probably use a high low strategy anyways and supplement dialed down 9 (which honestly in wound track isn’t going to be much different from buffalo bore 32 although it’s way cheaper) with +p45. It would be cheaper and easier to supply
But less aesthetic.

>>64695938
It only reliably meets FBI penetration requirements if you don’t account for post barrier performance. FMJ may reliably meet penetration depth standards, but in a world of 9mm JHP loadings that reliably meet the standards, while expanding, and have far superior barrier blind performance, why bother with .380?

>>64696651
You’re forgetting the most important part of the data you’re citing.
Out of the 4 calibers in the screenshot you posted, .32 has the highest percentage of attackers that were not incapacitated.
Relying on psychological stops is fucking retarded, and the guy who authored the study even says you should pick a caliber with superior performance.
No one says you can’t carry your retarded mousegun. No one says you can’t like it. Stop trying to bend reality to act as if it’s a better defensive round than 9mm, or even fucking .380, a cartridge I also think is downright obsolescent.
>>
>>64696672
Shut the fuck up.

You are again, intentionally misreading the data. You are illiterate. It cannot be 3/4 of the events ended in “one shot stops” since 4/10 of the events the attacker did not stop no matter how many rounds fired.
>>
>>64696707
It also had the highest percentage of attackers stopped by a center mass hit.
> highest percentage of attackers that were not incapacitated.
And almost exclusively those were non center mass strikes.
If center mass is hit it’s a reliable stop.

This is not indicative of a psychological stop.
It suggests a physiological stop. A limb flesh wound and precordial strike are not the same thing.

32 has a lower capacity so a defender shouldn’t mag dump like 9 where sheer volume can overcome a failed stop (9 has highest shots to stop).
They should Mozambique drill the attacker. Low recoil should help.
>>
>>64696743
9 has the highest sample size in most of these and is the most realistic. Because most professionals also use 9mm it should incorporate a lot of accurate T zone shots. You're not a special fucking snowflake for carrying a caliber most serious people who get into gunfights would consider a last resort backup gun stowed in your boot levels of effective. You're not good at interpreting statistics.

Correct
3/4 of chest/head strikes ended with one shot stops.
If the defender had what the study labeled no accuracy and failed to hit head or chest then failure to stop was likely.

Stop crying and read. That’s classic bimodal btw.
And probably if you have to use 32, multiple center mass strikes are your winning move. First will probably work and follow-ups stack the odds to a physiological stop.

>>64696757
It's actually derived from % stopped not from % shot. Good example of why it's good to be cautious trusting statistics, not to mention that the author for that study has effectively 0 credibility or experience when it comes to statistics and also refuses to let anybody examine their data or math.

>72% were stopped with one shot
>>
>>64696753
> 9 has the highest sample size in most of these and is the most realistic. Because most professionals
Yes it does
It’s also surprisingly bad preforming. It has a high failure to stop with center mass hits and needs Magdumps to overcome overall failure. It’s closer to 32 than bigger calibers with lots of rerolls due to spare shots being its gimmick.
380 and 38 sp which also have good sample sizes outright out perform 9 in those stats.

The 9 users might be unprofessional professionals perhaps?
> a last resort backup gun stowed in your boot levels of effective
I’ve said 32 is the minimum effective (provided good shot placement) caliber. Which is perfectly fine for NPE. I could carry a 9 subcompact for such places but provided I aim well (32 has low recoil which aids aiming) the advantage would be marginal and I’d either give up size or da/SA capability.
(I also use 380 for my mouse guns and frankly it’s about the same as +p 32 but you don’t seem to be getting bent out of shape about it.)

If I need more power, my car is getting jacked or house broken into I’ll break out 44/45. For deep concealment my pocket gun won’t be much worse than a tiny 9, and if I want a defensive gun I’ll use a caliber more impressive than 9.
>>
>>64696797
>accuracy (head/chest hits) 78%
>72% of accurate hits stop with first hit
It’s derived from accuracy (out of total shots not DGU events) but since they didn’t release the raw you can’t tell what happened to the 28% the first shot didn’t stop.
>>64696763
I say that all the time
That’s why I have larger calibers to back it up
>>
>>64696797
> >Of those stopped what percent were stopped with one shot?
Not at all since that category is explicitly head or chest shots that stop with one shot.

Total stopped has no discriminator for head and chest shots so it’s a totally different category
>>
>>64696651
>>64696635
So the modes are, it either works or it doesn't? I don't see where you are going with it.
>>
>>64696829
And the group variable is shot placement. Most with good placement fall into work.
Most with bad placement slot into fail.

Which fits the adage that small calibers with adequate penetration are very placement dependent.

>380 and 38 sp which also have good sample sizes outright out perform 9 in those stats.

This is how smart people know this data is horseshit. There is ZERO physical reason why a faster moving, more energetic projectile would be less destructive than a slower, less energetic one, ceteris paribus.

A statistician would conclude that there are numerous confounding factors at play, likely that .380 and .38 Special shooters are better than 9mm ones (gun nerds versus general populace, or white people versus nons), or that the people being shot by .380 and .38 Special rounds are different from those being shot by 9mm (regular criminals versus apes on angel dust on whom the police were called), or that the result is spurious and doesn't hold up to a t-test.

The failure to even hypothesize why a .380 or .38 special is *more* effective than a 9mm is indicative that there is no root cause.

By the way, the whole "this result fell out of a statistical analysis done by a layman with a sample size of 40" is the same approach that homeopathic "doctors" use. If you ask them how their snake oil works on a physiological level, they never know. They simply say the result falls out of the data.

unskilled 9 users spray and pray while 380 and 38 are more seasoned and take picked shots? That’s a very likely outcome.

It doesn’t show 9 has less stopping power. It shows provided shot placement it has little advantage over its smaller counterparts. Or more accurately its smaller center fires have little disadvantage provided proper shot placement

Sorry, but you failed the test. What you've just done is acknowledge that the statistical result is due to sampling bias, rather than anything inherent to the calibers themselves.

If someone asked you if red cars or gray cars are better at surviving crashes into a wall, a logical person would say that they should be identical. You've now said "ah, but this statistical analysis says that red cars have a higher fatality rate among one car accidents". A smart person would say that's because red cars are driven faster by more risk-seeking people, hence their choice of the loud color. A pseud (like you) would think that the result is causative, "paint color implies physical performance".

Very true but I go by what I like not min max and it just has to be viable
That’s why I bought a reloading press

>DGU case series sucks because it’s full of uncontrolled variables
Great so do you propose getting a bunch of sheep and running a controlled trial on them? And then get investigated because that’s inhumane?

Harrell and bro did something pretty close already with their mock targets but farm animals or deer would let you see if the shot is incapacitating. I don’t really want to systematically slaughter hundreds of animals tho.

.380 is adequate, I still carry exclusively 9mm or .38SPL at the least.

No HSTs? Anon, are you drunk?

>Or, ya know, you can just use a caliber that both penetrates properly, and expands.
Do any of those calibers fit into a gun the size of an LCP or BG2 and hold 10+ rounds in the mag?
>>
protip: it literally does not matter if a bullet expands. ammo companies have convinced you it does so that you spend $1/round instead of using ball which has worked for hundreds of years

What's the data say about .22s?

Prior to semi automatic firearms, bullets were not jacketed so the soft lead expanded upon impact. Hollow points are attempting to recreate the effects of lead ball. Copper jacketed ammo does not deform at all.

Any more pseudo intellectual takes?
>>
>>64697120
>Copper jacketed ammo does not deform at all
It somewhat does on bone impact, creating the whole hardcast bullet idea for large animals.
>>
>>64697120
wrong

>>64697115
> actually incapacitated by one shot (torso or head hit) - 60%
Its benefit from center mass strikes is lower. Possibly because out of a pistol it won’t always reach vitals? It’s less bimodal
>>64697120
Do you reckon soft lead cast 44 sp is safe for home defense?

The .380 vs 9mm discussion is akin to 9mm vs .40s&w

We all know that .45 is superior.

I always assumed JHP rounds ran hotter than regular FMJ. Where's my JHP equivalent to Winchester Service Grade?
>>
>>64697292
Winchester Service Grade is the same as military M1152 which is paired with a 147 gr JHP called M1153 which apparently is loaded to the same pressure but doesn’t really seem faster than any other 147 gr JHP.

You can just buy +P or +P+ 9mm JHPs. Federal 115 gr +P+ JHP is like 40-50 cents per round.

The LDS Church makes the best case why we need to tax religious institutions. They are sitting on $200 billion in cash, and get to write off everything, similarly when they followers do work for the church (they are required to, btw) they get to make exemptions against that shit and claim it as a donation. After they got into the trouble with the IRS back in the 80's they rebuilt their entire corporate structure to exploit every loophole. Their long-term stated goal is to build Zion as a city, and do it entirely through church controlled labor and logistics so they can build a whole city, not just for free, but get a tax rebate on it and make it a Mormon zone in the same vein that "No Go" zones exist for everyone who isn't "Asian" in Europe.

No, I propose you stop talking out of your ass to the detriment of the thread. Every couple of months you cite this """study""", bereft of context to the point of absurdity, against the authors' explicit instructions. You literally always draw the wrong the conclusion from it.

It's also very ironic that the entire point of the authors' paper is the primacy of shot placement, and you claim to have taken this to heart, and yet you still fucking suck at shooting.

It's obvious to everyone in these threads that the real reason you love .32 is because you have a sexual fantasy of being small and effete. You desperately wish that everyone in these threads wants to fuck you, despite the fact that you're an ugly little goblin. Stop avatarposting, faggot.

Is the FNX45 a good first .45 gun? Or should I get a regular 1911?
>>
>>64697490
1911, but get a good one not the turkshit that always gets shilled here. I learned to shoot on one and it was a great first gun.
>>
>>64697490
You should be contrarian and get an FN 545

Bought a CZ75 and now need a holster, Czech made if possible.

Tanfoglio or Springfield Armory?

I have my doubts, I like hammer fired ones, and I already own a USP, so I guess it comes down to either a 1911 or a FNX45
>>
>>64697577
Honestly, I would just go to a local gun store and see if they know any leather workers that make holsters and commission one. I have Amish guys near me that do it

Wilson Combat ACP. Probably the best buy out there for a high quality 1911 without spending an absurd amount of money on a custom or competition gun.

I wouldn't buy an FN in 2025.

Taking a half day to go shoot and rent some handguns with a friend. Currently have a gen3 glock 17 and a CZ PCR that I like quite a bit. Would be interested in something nice for range/comp fun and home duty, preferably hammer, bias to DA/SA, optics cut bonus but not necessary on something like a USP, 4-4.5". Current shortlist to try out is:
>CZ P09c, Shadow carry
>Beretta 92fs/x/, Px4
>HK P30, USP
>midrange 2011
>staccato HD
Taking suggestions otherwise, its a flat fee regardless of how many you try which is fun.
>>
>>64697698
If they have classic Sigs, P220, 226, etc, try one of those out. I like them a lot, just holding out for a good deal on one.

I'm a completionist retard and would love an as-is legit holster if possible but if there is no such thing I might as well.
Are holsters normally a custom ordeal for cz's or are there reputable non Czech brands that would work?
>>
>>64697740
NTA, but unless you're selling the holsters for $$$ or are on a 1:1 type distribution the logistics don't really make sense. Machining and metallurgy =/= softgoods

These guys showed up for modern ones, i don't know of any group affiliated with CZ that ran holsters in the past. Like other anon said, US kydex or handmade leather are going to be better, but hopefully this scratches your czech itch https://www.balistas.com/dasta

Wilson combat P320s were at a great price recently.

Fuck their 1911s though, just get a new P220
>>
>>64697860
220? yeah, sure. but also, like, why not just get a 1911
>>
>>64697863
Not as durable as newer .45 inventions. For $1800 you could get a decent finnicky 1911 or a P220 + HK .45 model of choice
>>
>>64697871
durable how? you're never going to put tens of thousands of rounds through it. and I have a HK .45 Expert
>>
>>64697876
So? Just because I might not shoot it until it breaks, I'd rather spend money on something known to last that long instead of overpriced dogshit like nighthawk custom 1911s

that's why I own HKs. good man
