Ok on a different note I am curious what this gun community thinks of this idea. I usually do a cash bonus for end of year sales quotas for the last two months. Instead of cash this year I am thinking of doing some guns and custom watches mixed in with some cash. All of my employees are cool with this and think it is a good idea to get some thing they can have alot longer then the cash as they already make decent money.
Since we have proven we like to debate. I would like to hear thoughts of other individuals. I have not found a reason it can not be done. Keep in mind I am in FLorida as well. This would also be held li8ke a raffle before christmas vacation. |

40S(hort)&W(eak).
10MM and .40 use the same bullet. I have carried a .40 on duty for many, many years. If it were up to me, I'd carry a 9MM. Modern bullet technology has made almost all popular pistol calibers that same as far as effectiveness goes. Too many people start nitpicking this is better than that. I don't want to get shot by ANYTHING whether it be a BB gun or a .22 or a .500S&W magnum or any rifle caliber. (I did see some pics from Brazil where someone was shot a few times with a .308 and LIVED. Even with a rifle, shot placement matters but to a far lesser degree). Like the comedian Bill Burr says, if he shoots with a BB gun while you are breaking into his house, it will make you reconsider what you are doing. |

In the NRA training, you clearly learn that you need to pay attention to what is also BEHIND your target. So yeah, no matter what caliber you are shooting you COULD still have over-penetration.

Cash is a lot better and shows more respect for them than to shove a gift in their arms as though you knew better what would make them happy. I think it would be more respectful to maintain your cash bonus then put on top of that a Grand Prize Drawing for meeting the team's sales goals to anyone that reached their quotas. You'll have to check with your lawyer though as any drawings are subject to laws in your state.

Went to the range today with my wife, dad and uncle. It was a beautiful day and we had some fun. My wife was shooting my dad's old (he got it from my grandfather) Sears Roebuck .22. I think it's a rebadged Winchester. It kept misfeeding. She still had fun. I might buy her an AR for Christmas.

Well most people think the 10mm will vaporize their target so I think you're OK

Just at a quick glance, I can load .45 to within 100...150fps of a 10mm projectile. Though I would not really want too. I am still in the camp of over-penetration being an issue, but I will get myself a little more informed about it before I make another wise azz comment. |

A good self defense round will mushroom and expand the petals back and over to the rear upon hitting and traveling through a medium. If you ever get a chance to see ballistic gel testing in person, it is really neat. Videos on youtube are cool but nothing like seeing it in person. Just imagine upon expansion, the petals fold back and over and just how big of a swathe they cut while bending towards the tail of the bullet. |
