It's true that the bigger the round, the higher likelyhood of a one shot stop will occur, but my main point is that if that larger round isn't confortable for an individual to accurately fire in a somewhat rapid succession, they shouldn't be carrying it. Personally, I don't care for the .40 round. I carry a 9mm but I also have a Kimber with I used for competitions.
I haven't shot in a match in a while though, new job doesn't allow for me to get out to Usery or south mountain in time, but I'm hoping to change that shortly and get back into it. Great practice for more realistic situations than shooting a paper.

yeah off subject and not to keep the argument going but I was very dishearted to see the HK blow up the way it did... if your talking the same one I am.. the usp 45 right?
here is my question to that guy.... because im sure there is more but ive only read about one case with HK. but why buy a 1500 dollar gun then put re loads through it? never made sense to me... I have a grandfather thats that way... he has a special edition 1911 and uses re loads the cheap bastard...
like I was taught and like I teach mine... practice with the ammo you carry or your doing no good... I can feel the difference between the 185grn flat nose winchester rounds or the rounds I carry the 155grn hydra shok.. it has the best one shot stop out of all the 40 rds out... only in the 155 grn... there is a cor-bon 135 grn 40 cal thats a +p+ ive shot it a few times I did not like the round itself... I like a 155grn in the 40... easy to shoot with slight pop back into front sight posotion... the 45 just rolls to much for me... like I said my partner is all about the 45 I just can't get jiggy with it.... I stick with the 40 for the stopping power...
