Stroke my ego with a .40S&W argument I had with someone

[CroiDhubh]

Okay, so I had an argument with someone today in regards to .40S&W and the loads. Not only did the person argue the .40S&W wasn't enough with stopping power and called it "Short and Wimpy", he argued I would have to carry a +P in the gun. Now...not only is he an idiot for calling it "Short and Wimpy", but to further prove what an idiot he is, when I told him I carry a 180gr Speer Gold Dot, he said it would only be worth it to carry the 180gr in +P.

I told him you can't have a +P rating with a 180gr S&W and he told me, "Of course you can. They sell them all the time. Cops who don't know better carry it instead of a 9MM." I already figured this guy was a huge dumb ass, so I told him the 180gr .40S&W was developed for the smaller FBI guys and for the ladies since the 10MM was a little too much, and the load is at maximum allowed pressures for the cartridge for that weight. If one would go down to a 165gr or 155gr, then there could be a +P load, but not in a 180gr.

At this he scoffed telling me I'm giving false information and I decided there was no use arguing with stupid.


What say you?

How the rest of this thread will go :

No 9mm is better...

No 45ACP is better..

A pistol is only to fight your way to your rifle.

5.56 is better

7.62 is better...

in before the lock.

460 Rowland, your argument is pointless.... lol

Should've told him that he can get the 180gr +P+ in 10mm! Some people's kids.

I hate caliber wars...

Yeah, let's not talk about what caliber is better. This has to do with the .40S&W specifically. Hopefully you got it out of everyone's system already *LOL*

Shot placement.

Agreed

You're an adult, avoid caliber debates.

Pick your own poison, it's your life on the line if you have to use it. Arguments over what is better are pointless.
