Reply With Quotewell i would say .45.
considering all our enemies are poor equiped it wont make much difference if it can pierce armour.
.45 is a fairly good stopper as well.
The ideal service pistol cartridge?
What pistol cartridge do you think is the ideal chambering or a service pistol?
well i would say .45.

.45 acp is my top choice.
9X19 is cheap, but not as effective. It is a better choice for suppression though.
Id say .40 AUTO...
why is that. actually the .45 is the best for supression as i believe it is already subsonic? even if it isnt is doesnt travel as fast so it would lose less energy in a subsonic round.Originally Posted by Obergefreiter
Wrong. .45 is better suppressed because it is subsonic. Thats why the mark 23 mod 0 in .45 is used with a supressor.
TP
every soldier ive ever talked to who has used one loves the ol' 1911A1 .45. thats enough for me.
The .45 acp is the best round currently avail. to the military and law enforcement. 9mm is great for high cap. and special purpose but for effective threat stopping the .45 is hard to beat.
Gotta love the power of the .45
But if I had to choose a pistol to use overseas on a covert op, it'd be a 9mm since ammo would be easier to come by.
I was watching a SEAL documentary on DVD the other day, the guy saying about all the weapons said "we use the 9mm, alot of people say "well it's only a 9mm", but that won't matter when I put two rounds in the chest and one in the head."
For me I would prefer .45
Jeez, this AGAIN?
FFS! Not this **** again!
9mm! :P
Best service pistol cartridge?
The one that goes trough Sixguns empty skull...
That would be a 6mm plastic BB.
Oh, are we talking service pistol for LEO or for military?
