I had PRK eye surgery years ago, direct light, (driving at night, etc) looks bursty with lots of halo. I could get glasses to fix it, but I refuse to pay for that just to see a sight that cost 1/2 the gun. I'll just practice more.
Absolutely, and all the guns are so light nowadays if you did have a kick-ass round it's more difficult to hang onto. Gotta split the difference, determine right length. I like having 10rnd mags for whatever I have when I travel through magazine limited States, like Colorado, New Mexico, and others.
I have my 45acp loaded to 500lbs of muzzle energy
225grn bullet at 1010fps
That's like a 40cal, or standard load 10mm roundabouts.
From their energy charts, the old 45 long colts were bangers, but the gun prolly weighed 3-4lbs too.
125grn at 1200fp in a 4inch barrel is what I'm getting from the 9mm.
I believe that's 400lbs
1170fps in a 3.5 inch barrel. 380lbs.
A standard 230grn 45ACP is 352lbs so still more ass than that, with more rounds, less weight and less recoil.
its not maxx'n the cases or blowing primers, like a +P round without paying a fortune.
