[QUOTE="Pstmstr, post: 1678540, member: 51164"] so you kind of prove his point, even a +P+ 9mm can't beat a low recoil, low flash load out of the 4 inch barrel. Larger bullet, moving faster equals more power doesn't it? Evan Marshall's stopping power book and website have some good info on this age old argument. I will say that for most shooters, a good hit with something like a Gold Dot 9mm bullet beats the heck out of a lot of flash and bang from a .357 Magnum. I've got a scandium frame .357 snubby and a Kahr PM9. If I had to bet on the one to make good hits with, it's the Kahr every time. There really is no such thing as absolute stopping power in any handgun load. The key is a decent bullet hitting the right places, preferably more than 1. [/QUOTE]
