(Posted on 12/28/12 at 1:06 am) I'm getting my first handgun as a combined Christmas and birthday present. I know Feinstein's nazi pile of shite is still in its infancy, but I was wondering if there is any real advantage/disadvantage to getting it either before or after the new year. If it helps, I'm looking pretty hard at getting something akin to an S&W .40 compact.

(Posted on 12/28/12 at 4:05 pm to Grunt Actual) Didn't realize this board got so much traffic. Thanks for the responses. I have been a little too busy lately to do research and I don't have a lot of base knowledge. All I have to my name is a Savage. 22 single shot rifle basically made for kids to learn how to shoot. Haven't shot an automatic pistol in years although I used a .38 sw revovler a few yrs ago. Just turned 21 and will want to have a good pistol on me while I still live in the lsu area. Wanted to make sure I have time to research before I rush into it.

That word "used" makes it sound like it was "shot" for a reason.

FBI standard is 12" minimum penetration, 18" max. This is one of the best explanations I've seen from the late Paul Gomez: Paul Gomez 9mm vs .45

(Posted on 12/28/12 at 5:29 pm to Riseupfromtherubble) The FBI was shooting through walls with the 10mm, so they asked S&W to come up with a bullet that was a little less powerful. I would definitely chose the 40 over the 9mm. The better performing 9mm will be just as expensive as the 40 ammo.
