    Why? Does it get so cold where you are you need extra penetration to get through the many layers of clothing? I stick with 9mm and .357 year round.

    Spring/Summer G43 w/.22 BUG

    Fall/Winter G29 w/9mm BUG


    I would prefer the 10mm year round but its hard to hide in a tee shirt.
    Where I live, I'm hunting all the time and the 10mm gives me a little more range and knockdown.
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    I figure he meant that winter clothing conceals a weapon easier and a bigger one, especially.

    I can hide my Glock 21 in colder weather with a jacket but I stagger my magazines with hardball and hollowpoints due to the bad guy having heavier clothing in the winter. .45 ACP hardball should zip right through heavy jackets where a hollowpoint can be obstructed and slowed down.

    I have changed theory on the 9mm and .45 to just use hardball ammo. Penetration, no possible jams outweighs the HP it does more damage. 9mm hardball has killed folks along with the .45 during war. One just makes a larger hole.

    I have a few 9mms but the Glock has the largest mags, 13 rounds of .45ACP plus as much as I hate to admit to a Glock being accurate at 25 yards it is the most accurate semi I own.

    Years ago an off duty cop working security carried a S&W 38 hammerless in his right hand outside coat pocket. He figured if he didn't have time to draw, he could shoot through the pocket. Showed me the jacket that he used to try this. Yep - holes and burn marks. Said he didn't have to worry about a jam and could keep all his shots on a torso type target at 7 yards. Did have to extinguish his smoldering pocket tho. Bob
