FBI: the 9mm is as good as a .45?

but I've given in and adopted the 9mm as a primary carry cartridge. For me - the primary driver for this was 2a - price to shoot. I can buy bulk S&B 124 gr "NATO" 9mm ball that tends to run "hot" so it fairly reasonably approximates the 124gr +p stuff that I carry - and the price just over 1/2 what I pay for 230gr .45ACP ball practice rounds. Between that, and the fact that in the same thickness of a package I can carry almost twice the rounds (the G30 is 9+1 - the PDP is 18+1) - I've landed on carrying the 9mm more and more often.

:arrow: At the end of the day, the ability to put more practice rounds through the 9mm is the biggest single factor driving the decision.

:clap:

Ah, god's caliber, good man. :mrgreen: I've got a pistol and an AR pistol in that caliber, I wished ammo was cheaper for it.

Which AR, Clyde, and how do you like it?

'I've got at least one in .45& 10mm, and more than a couple in 9mm. I love all of them, in all the calibers I have.

Which brand is the 10mm?

I have no idea, I just put parts together that I bought on the internet.

Oh! :lol:

I’ve been wanting a Glock magazine 40 S&W PCC for a while now, but you can’t really find parts anymore, and CMMG wants a pretty penny for their Banshee. So I’ve been thinking about getting something in 10mm.

I find parts all the time, it's whether or not I want to spend the money when they have them in stock. I have two "large mag" glock lowers for .45 and 10mm, just gotta swap tops to whatever I want to shoot that day.

I also have a Glock 20 clone and a Glock 21SF to go with the other accessories. :mrgreen:

I built my own Banshee from CMMG's parts page about 6 years ago. Back then, it cost me under $700 to build the upper and stick on my regular multi-caliber lower. (I went with using the EndoMags instead of the Uzi/Colt mags I had intended to originally.) I priced it out again recently last year, and the price to duplicate it again came out to just under $900. (In 9mm, that is.)

But I like the Banshee so much, I have considered building a 10mm version as well. So I'll state my bias here and urge you to really consider doing that for yourself.

(I'm actually tempted to do a super custom Banshee in 9x25Dillon if I can convince CMMG to make me a barrel in that caliber. Wheeeeeeeeeeee doggy, that'd be blazin' hoot and a half!!)
