The People Who Carry .40 S&W

The People Who Carry .40 s&w

A mosin nagant is my everyday carry, i just tell people that i have a prosthetic leg and thats why i walk like that

Modern 9mm, 357sig, .40S&W and 45 ACP will ALL do the job that needs doing. You, the shooter are the one that decides how well it's done.

My old G23 saved my dad's life. He stopped a doped up junky with a hatchet in his tracks with some quality HP rounds. I sold that gun to him because I wasn't attached to it and not because i thought the caliber wasn't impressive. I now have a G23 again and I trust it to get the job done because of his experience.

I carry a .65 flintlock. Sure, it only has one shot, but that stopping power! And with that awesome single bead sight, how can I miss?

Lets admit we're all here cause we carry .40 and are here to religiously defend it and comfort ourselves knowing theres people like us who love the .40. Yes im the middle child and yes in my mind the caliber debate is won. Paul Harrell helped me make my decision to go ahead with the .40

Ballistics don't lie, people do.
The .40s&w is a really good round.

This guy knows his stuff. I am a middle child and I carry a 40 cal. I am also a retired Deputy Sheriff and we carried 40s. I have owned and fired all three. Needless to say I have fired and trained with 40 Cal. more. I am on target more with a 40 Cal. Perhaps it is all the training. I am not upset over this video, as a matter of fact I liked it.

I don’t care what caliber it is, I don’t want to be shot by any bullet 😂

[BrainSeepsOut]

I'm transcaliber, I have a glock and load it with .357, you better respect my caliber identity and use proper prorounds

[louisbabycos]

I carry a forty every Friday . It's refreshing and I get it from the gas station .😂😀😂

[COD]

I own .40s cuz police trade in guns are Lol

[lejenddairy]

Where the 50 boys at? I conceal carry a Desert Eagle 50 AE just in case a grizzly decides to charge at me. And I also open carry a 50 BMG just in case that same grizzly bear is driving a truck while charging me.

"I carry a .357 Sig and as far as I'm concerned, all of you are idiots. That's time." 😂

"I like both calibers, I like women, sometimes i have dreams about Justin Bieber..." HYSTERICAL!

[TeamTopKick]

I carry a 10mm. Although I wish my ammo was 9mm price...

[bondking]

I'm a middle child. And I carry .40. This explains it. Thanks, Colion.

40 is an awesome round. So is 9. Ok, toss in the 45 as well. I have carried all 3 on duty and have seen a 9mm one shot stop. I have seen suspects take multiple hits from 45 and live. I was involved in a shooting with 40 and it works as advertised. My point is that shot placement and knowing your platform is more relevant than caliber. I carry 40 on duty, 9 off duty, and 45 on the nightstand. I guess you can have it all :)

If you can’t handle the .40 S&W you are a recoil sensitive girly man.

I hunt with a .44mag, so I've gotten used to the recoil. So, when I train with my 9's, or .40's, or .45's, I have to admit, I don't pay attention to recoil. My focus is on my target. I don't feel outgunned, with any of them. Or even my .380 summer gun. The most important defensive tool, is the one between your ears. You want a 90mm mindset. When it is time to protect yourself, or your family, you can't doubt, that you will persevere. If it takes you a split second longer, to make this a one shot stop, vs a 15 shot panic spray, that misses the target altogether, and endangers everyone else in the vicinity, you HAVE to take that time and risk. It comes back to training. Mr. Badguy is under stress too. He didn't anticipate finding a sheepdog, among the sheep. And now, he's staring down your barrel.
You have to train dynamically. Don't go to a range, "kill" the heck out of a paper target, that is stationary, doesn't return fire and think this will suffice. Find somewhere you can shoot steel targets, and are able to move around and still hit. Shoot with your offhand. Shoot while laying on the ground, or some other odd position. Learn to reload, with only your offhand. These are drills that will save your bacon. And, don't be afraid to practice dryfiring at home. Modern firearms are not damaged by this. This helps your draw, sight alignment, and gives you a muscle memory, so that you will automatically do certain things faster and more consistently.
What's the best caliber? The one that's comfortable for you, that you have confidence in, and is in your capable hands, at the worst time of your life.
