This came up on my feed. I wasn’t looking for it. Poor ACP.

He did improper testing. He should have used the 45 last. The 45 decided to stop before doing too much damage to give the other calibers a chance. Had he shot the 45 last it would have destroyed that entire structure. I trust this testing more because they wear lab coats.
Pines are pussies......try messing with an Oak!!!!The next time that pine tree in the front yard makes a threatening move, I'll know which caliber and bullet to choose.
The tree did try something last summer, but I shived it a couple of times and it backed off.

Barrier penetration. It’s the reason why the ACP is rarely adopted by law enforcement. Not every shot will be a clean, uninstructed shot at a chest. Shooters can fire at you while taking cover behind park benches, trash cans, wooden sheds, aluminum sheds, wall corners, cars, ect. A higher velocity round has a better chance of making cover into concealment.

I see that 45 lives in someone’s head rent free.

Actually, I agree with you!! I've gone to a faster round with a very specific ammunition selection that includes coverage of barrier situations.
Just thought the pine board thing was not too useful.
Also, I was getting too old to haul that big honker and extra mags around.

Try Underwood Ammo and Buffalo Bore ammo. Both are loaded to what they are supposed to be loaded to and both ship to door.
I know but they are too expensive, I shoot alot.
My buddy makes me 100 rounds for $40 of hot 10mm rounds.
Im always amazed just how powerful they are. The go straight through a 10 inch thick tree........in and out straight through.

Well for carry they can’t be beat. I wouldn’t carry reloads.
I do have a few boxes of BB and Black Hills bonded HP.
I have fired many 100s of these reloads without an issue but I get your drift.

What's wrong with carrying reloads?

Yeah almost no recoil on the 10mm either. Would make a great carry gun with an even shorter barrel. Besides, I'm not concerned about what it does to an attacker, it's the pine boards that are the really important factor.
Gotta love the 45 ACP! Destroyed those boards.
I'll take the 45ACP!!

Depends on who makes them I guess but I would feel more comfortable with factory ammo. I know with Underwood the velocity is consistent.

Hope that pig isn’t taking cover behind fences make by 2x4’s!

By who makes them do you mean a company or in general? I carry my own reloads and feel very comfortable doing so. And the velocity is consistent as well for what it's worth.
ETA: I actually feel a little more comfortable carrying my own stuff as I know exactly what's in it. I've seen squib loads and backwards primers in factory ammo.

I was going to make a cop joke but remembered this actual pig laughing at me because I couldn’t get him with my 1911.

Yeah depends on who makes them. I bought .223 reloads once from a place in Florida and had a lot of stoppages.
