There was probably a fake news article claiming the 9mm is the most deadly cartridge but they don't take the widespread popularity of 9mm handguns into account compared to others. I had a statistics class in college and depending on what you put in or leave out you can make up just about anything and say its statistically Proven, which is a favorite thing of the fake news media to do. For example, Eating ice cream is statistically linked to drowning deaths. Idiots will be afraid to eat ice cream ever again, but in reality its just because more ice cream is eaten in warm weather and people swim more in warm weather. Technically its a true statement but the correct statement would be warm weather is linked to drowning deaths.

I've had first person experience with both calibers in lethal encounters. There is no comparison in stopping power of the 357 mag. That 357 mag terminated the fire fight immediately. The 9mm, with almost identical bullet placement, still allowed the actor to return fire. Requiring additional follow up shots. This a grim subject and should not be discussed lightly. Just my opinion. Paul, that was a very professional presentation. Good Work!
@michaeldanchez95302 жыл бұрын
Do you think it’s safe to say that it was the bigger caliber or was it just shot placement ? Because one scenario doesn’t mean that 357 has more one stop shots. Someone else could get on here n say well I one stopped someone with a 9mm before. Someone’s gonna say they’ve seen a one shot with a 22 you know. I think it’s hard to compare based on one or two scenarios

The kinetic energy (KE) of the rounds as tested show the .357 generates between 1.4 to 1.7 times the KE of the 9mm. Effectiveness is more complex, as ability to hit the target in a vital spot is key. But assuming all else being equal, 0357 is much more powerful.

Shooting a .22LR indoors without hearing protection is a stupid idea, much less .357mag. Put a pair of amplified hearing protection muffs next to your nightstand. When that bump happens in the night, the first thing you do is pop on the muffs and turn up the volume. Then grab your iron.

This morning I had a self-defense situation, not with a person but with an adult male black bear (that we believe was rabid), and I was very happy that I was carrying a .357 Mag (w/ StJHP). In fact, the only thing that would have made me happier was carrying my .44 Mag. It charged me and I got off 3 shots before it started to slow and pitch ~9 meters away, and then I emptied the revolver into the target and reloaded with a speed loader. The shot that made the difference was a hit right above its right eye, I believe it was the 2nd, that fully penetrated into its skull. I'm not sure a 9mm would have been enough to stop it before it reached me. BTW, practice, practice, practice combat reloads. I was pleased that I reloaded smoothly (for me) without even really thinking about it, due to lots of practice.

@@IluvinortheIneffable For a first gun? Yes, hard to say, if you want a one and done gun, yea, a 9mm or higher, but if you plan on getting more guns, a 9mm is good for learning how to shoot, it's a middle ground, ammo isn't as expensive, and you get decent training with recoil and so on, but, there's also .22s out there, you won't really learn how to shoot bigger guns, but if you want to have fun or throw a million round down range to learn how to aim and how to deal with malfunctions(I've never had a many malfunctions as i do on my 22s) and not lay awake at night thinking about your wallet, you'll definitely get what you want there

In plain English, he does not use hype or gimmicks and does not give you any information you don't need. He deep-sixed the premise of 9mm v 357 magnum. 9mm is fine and the shooter can have up to 18 rounds in a magazine. The 357 sig 125 grain is in the neighborhood of a 125 grain 357 magnum but that's it. The 357 Sig holds 15 rounds in a Glock and a 40 cal Glock can be converted to 357 Sig with a barrel and spring change. If 357 magnums had sub $1,000 auto platforms they would be popular. Not everyone has the $$$ to get a Coonan or Desert Eagle.

I did not hear him say it was not as practical. I must have missed that, Roy. I heard him say more powerful and effective, but that was in reference to the .357. Reloading and more magazine capacity is for those who miss more shots than Paul, it appears. Personally, I am a terrible shot at 25 yards with a sidearm, but I think I can hit a 3" target while flustered at 21 feet without my glasses.

357 mag edges the Sig pretty handily in the 125 gr load but where the comparison ends are the heavier loads of 158 to 180. 357 mag all day, every day. However in terms of the high capacity auto loader design of the Sig, it wins the comparison in the long run due to speed of use and shootability. IMHO.

When my department (OCSD, CA) went from .38 Special revolver to 9mm semi-auto, I embraced the change. We also went from carrying 18 .38 Special rounds to 46 9mm rounds (as well as more rounds before reloading). Later, the department went from S&W 9mm to Glock 9mm, increasing the payload to 52 rounds of 9mm. Much later, the department went to a 3 pouch magazine carrier. That gave it an even bigger boost to 69 rounds. The biggest advantage was more rounds and quicker reloads. Shortly after getting the 9mm, jacketed hollow point ammunition was approved. The .38 special was the Keith semi-wadcutter and speed loaders were used. Your videos are always done well, professionally and concisely. You are at the top of my short list of reviewers that I prefer.

Depending on your department and the numbers of officers 69 rounds may seem like a lot, and some not enough. Rural officers who may be alone with backup 15 to 30 minutes away wants to be prepared. Always being prepared is how you keep the edge. I knew deputies that carried scoped mini 14's because farmers have scoped deer rifles and more. I knew others who only had shotguns. That's the way the world is. Its becoming more violent and the officers must be prepared to meet those threats. Next time you have to call 911 think about those officers there to help you or to help another. To assume they will be "throwing around 9mm in every direction" is asinine.

retrobeats - I’ve had semiauto pistols that were finicky about Ammo and would jam if not fed the best food. I had a Kimber that produced 3-point jams almost every magazine until I did extensive part replacement and tune ups. Failures to return to battery, failures to feed, and failures to eject all happen with semiauto, albeit rarely with a good pistol. The only problem I’ve ever had with a revolver was when I changed out the hammer spring and went too light, causing light primate strikes. If you had a revolver “blow up” on you, either the Ammo was bad or wrong for the gun, you fired a second shot after a squib left 1 in the barrel, or the gun was improperly manufactured. Any of these problems can happen just as easily in a semiauto.

I've watched this particular presentation a few times. Still as informative and entertaining. The issue that strikes me as having high significance is defining the parameters of performance for the elements of focus- The specific firearms utilized; cartridge configuration, strategy or tactics, ad astra. Paul and very few others across the YT universe provide the viewers with objective information with attention retaining presentation. Subjective views are kept to a minimum and are primarily used to fill in gaps that data or statistics can not adequately address. I've been impressed as to how Mr. H. and his crew manage to produce presentations on a regular basis when many other production 'companies' run out of ways to grow the audience after a few dozen episodes.

As a paramedic firefighter in South Africa between 1979 and 2002, I treated hundreds of gunshot victims. The survival rate amongst 9mm gunshot victims was 100% greater than those shot by .357mag. I cannot recall a single .357mag victim that survived, even one that was shot in the arm and leg (resulting humerus and femur fractures) by his own firearm. I have, however, seen many victims that survived multiple 9mm hits, including attempted suicides where the person placed the firearm in his mouth and blew his frontal cortex away. He survived, albeit with a drastically altered personality. Nope, the .357mag is a beast compared to the 9mm.

The .357 is just simply a far more powerful bullet. When you use the word "effective" as the other guy you mentioned did, that opens a whole new can of worms. I feel something like a Ruger LCR in .22LR can be totally "effective" for a self defense weapon, even though obviously the "power" isn't anywhere close at all to either of these two calibers you just demonstrated.
