Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

you die sad and alone on the foor of your living room, body still in shock after 20 new holes are created by the swat team.

You are a moron.

He's using a .45 in 2024. Evaluating available options and weighing the pros and cons is not in his wheelhouse.

Eh, .45 is still a good caliber when concealment is not a factor.

It's fine, but the same size gun will hold a lot more 9mm and training with it is way more affordable. There's not enough difference in lethality to worry about. The only situation where I'd take a 45 over a 9 would be shooting suppressed and subsonic since that's the only time the bigger bullet would really be helpful.
