s***. Of all the things to b**** about. "Oh, I got a new gun, woe is me!"

well you could do a lot worse than that

ehhh that's debatable

yea it is when i think its total shite and if not for upcoming job id bought one thats more up my alley

Do you have reasons why you think it's "total shite", or is this just glock bashing time?

ummm nope its faggot a** 9mm bashing time i dont have an issue with the 19 besides the grips ..but i can deal with that I hate p**** a** 9mms its like 5.56 a worthless f***ing round

Would you consider a .357 a worthless round too?

no but what the f*** does that got to do with anything

ummm nope its faggot a** 9mm bashing time i dont have an issue with the 19 besides the grips ..but i can deal with that I hate p**** a** 9mms its like 5.56 a worthless f***ing round

Because the .357 is .357" and factory loadings run about 1400 fps for a 125 gr hp while the "p**** a**" 9mm is .355" and 124 gr +p hp loads run 1200, but if you think 200 fps 1 grain and .002" is enough to go from undisputed best self defense load to p**** a** waste of time, that's none of my business.

The most miraculous event I witnessed showed how a tooth saved a U.S. Army sergeant's life! Christmas Eve morning a soldier came into our clinic at the Ibn Sina Hospital in downtown Baghdad covered in his own blood. He recounted an incredible story. Early Christmas Eve morning, two squads were assigned to sweep and clear two adjacent homes where Iraq terrorists were holed-up. The patient, "SGT C," was leading one of those assault squads. The other squad hit their target first.

"SGT C" said that he heard a lot of small arms fire and yelling, so he thought he would round the corner and size up the situation before advancing his team. Unfortunately, as he turned the corner, he found himself staring directly into the barrel of a 9mm automatic pistol. "SGT C" said he never had time to be scared, he just knew he was dead. The terrorist pulled the trigger and, miraculously, "SGT C" found himself still standing. He figured the bullet had missed. He advanced on the Iraqi, who immediately surrendered. After the enemy was rounded up, "SGT C" said he started to feel light headed and one of his soldiers insisted that he proceed to the hospital. He realized at this time that he had lost his front tooth in the gun fight. He figured the ballistic shock from the weapon's blast had knocked it loose. He was wrong.

When he presented early that morning Major Kimberly Perkins, our oral surgeon, took a panograph and discovered the incredible truth. The 9mm bullet did NOT miss "SGT C." He was hit directly in the face. The bullet entered just below his nose where it impacted the apex of #8. The energy from the bullet was transferred to the tooth, literally ejecting the tooth from its socket, and stopping the bullet in its track. Other than the missing tooth, the majority of "SGT C's" injuries were confined to soft tissue.



Here is the pan with the bullet clearly visible, embedded in the upper lip.


"SGT C" is a citizen soldier - an Army Reservist. When he returns to the States, the Army will see he has an implant replacement for the missing #8. Meanwhile, the prosthodontist in Baghdad, LTC Richard Druckman, made him an acrylic interim treatment partial. When "SGT C" came in for the prosthesis, I said "Can you imagine what the enemy thought when he shot you point blank in the face, and you just kept coming at him! Americans are invincible. No wonder he surrendered so fast!"

SGT C" smiled and said, "This is why you should always brush your teeth!" (

I wish I was famous for something like this

Because the .357 is .357" and factory loadings run about 1400 fps for a 125 gr hp while the "p**** a**" 9mm is .355" and 124 gr +p hp loads run 1200, but if you think 200 fps 1 grain and .002" is enough to go from undisputed best self defense load to p**** a** waste of time, that's none of my business.

I love when people pull the numbers card and get all scientific and s***. Either way you're comparing a magnum load to a higher pressure than typical 9mm load.

You can keep your 9mm.
