Question

and why the 25acp is a bad handgun? raven25..

the 45acp pt145..is good for conceal carry? thx u

Answer 1

NO, the tried, true, tested and proven best caliber handgun you could possibly own is the 357 Magnum.* It is a no-nonsense man stopper, and you can also shoot 38 caliber ammo in it.* You get two (2*) handguns for the price of one (1*).* Use 125 grain jacketed hollow points for self-defense ammo.*

Answer 2

Just what you like.

I have a 357, 9mil, mossberg, and now i want a 45

Answer 3

Little bullet not going very fast. Doesn't have the tissue damage needed to stop a fight.

Answer 4

People will say stopping power. Personally I don't plan on shooting just once if I'm in a bad situation.  a 9mm is fine. The 25 is better than nothing

Answer 5

far as the 9 against the 45 debate If you talk to anyone who works in a dangerous area like the Mid East or South America. Any of them who have been involved in shooting will tell you in real life the 9 will do anything  that the 45 can do. If fact everyone that I personally know carries  a 9mm. I guess I know 6 or 7 that fall into that league.

Answer 6

For my opinion it depends on the person for using 9mm or 45 handgun but the thing is that's why most of the people using that kind of handgun because it was easy to use and better accuracy and another thing gun meant for killing.

Answer 7

Q: the 9mm is a good gun the 45 is the best..>?

A: The best gun is the one that is already in your hand when you need it most.  Also, you're not asking about guns, you're asking about gun calibers.  The .45 acp is generally considered a superior stopper to the 9mm.  Both are good but neither one is the 'best.'  The best man stopper yet is still the .357 Magnum.  This one is followed by the .45 acp.  The .25 acp is WAY down on the Totem Pole which is why it is considered a poor stopper.  Raven made low-quality handguns and in very small calibers, which only made things worse.

Is the .45 acp good for concealed carry?  Depends on how well it will conceal on your person.  A very small, thin person will have trouble concealing one in summer wear but not so under a heavy overcoat.  I'm 5-9 210 lbs.  I can even conceal my Colt Python .357 Magnum or Glock Model 20 10mm in an inside-the-waist-band holster under a loose-fitting T-shirt.  Someone smaller might be better off with a .380 Auto.

Hope that helped.

Answer 8

The 9mm is common and reliable but has no stopping power, against someone who is motivated, or just big,or tough you will not stop them on the first 3 shots, maybe the first 5-8. The 45 is big, and if you get shot with it you will know, the 45 has been used for conceal carry for decades.

Answer 9

As was already addressed, A small gun in your pocket is better than a big one in the truck. Beyond that, You should choose the round and gun that best fits your needs.

If you are going to be at the beach all day every day, you should get a different gun than the guy that is in Alaska, who may have to worry about a rouge grizzly.

As for the 9mm vs 40 vs 45 debate, Modern bullets have pretty much negated most of the points for each. They generally all penetrate the same distance into the target. The .45 makes a bigger hole, but a 147 grain 9mm expands to something like .60 caliber anyway. The incapacitation and bleed out times are around a second or two different, but you can get more shots from a 9mm due to less recoil and higher capacity. Most loaded polymer 9mms weigh a lot less than an empty 45... Practice ammo is cheaper in 9mm.

The 1911 is one of the most tested and proven guns in the world. Very reliable, ****** and locked carry, glorious trigger pull and it just feels right. If you cant solve it with 8 rounds of 45acp, you're probably dead no matter what.

Once again, its all personal preference, however unless I was wearing swimming shorts all day(which i never do), I would stay away from the .25 or .22 calibers, and deal with a little discomfort of carrying a more potent weapon. Those smaller calibers just don't have the umph to expand and incapacitate soon enough. They don't have specially developed protection bullets.. But its better than spitting on the bad guy.

Answer 10

If you're going with small ammo (for small size) go with .38 Auto.  It's small enough to keep the gun tiny, but big enough to kill.

Keep in mind:

1.  .22 can, has, and will kill a person.

2.  If you get expensive hollowpoints and high velocity rating, those bullets will tear up the target's flesh real quick and in a hurry.

Answer 11

guns aren't magic, they are raw physics.

The firing pin strikes the primer, the primer sparks, which ignites the gunpowder. This explodes in a controlled fashion which drives the bullet out the barrel.

The more/better the gunpowder is, the more powerful the cartrdige is.  More powerful cartridges require bigger heavier guns to house the explosion. Big and heavy guns are harder to conceal than small guns.

45acp is one type of ammunition.  It fires a big bullet using a big charge of gunpowder.  It is a great manstopper.  9mm is antoher type of ammunition, it fires a smaller bullet using a smaller pile of gunpowder, but the gun is generally smaller and lighter, and you can fit more shots in the magazine (what some people call the clip)

25 acp fires a very small bullet using a very small pile of gunpowder, so it doesn't have much power.  Of course, it can still kill, just not as reliably and as quickly as the other two.  Because it is such a small cartridge, it can be used in a very small gun.  Small guns are easy to conceal.

However, we have been gettting better and better at making very strong plastics and very strong but light-weight metals.  We can now make a 380acp (that's almost as powerful as a 9mm) in a gun the size of a raven 25.  Check out the new Ruger LCP 380 and the Kel-Teck 380 for two great small conceal carry handguns taht pack a lot more punch than the puny 25

Answer 12

Look...the best concealed carry gun is going to be the one that you carry day in, and day out.  I have a friend that boasts about carry a 45.  The problem is that he don't carry it half the time because it's too big and bulk.  The other day we were out, and I asked if he was packing.  He said he wasn't.  He then asked if I was...I said yes.....he them joked with me about me carrying my  "pea shooter" (I carry a kel-tec 380).  I asked why he wasn't carry his 45 (he had left it in the truck) and he said "we'll we're just going to Walmart, I don't expect to be mugged at Walmart".  I asked him something to the affect of well when do you EXPECT to get mugged?  He thought for a moment and said "good point".

Two points of thought.  

1)  Have something that you can get out, and get out quickly.

2) Have something that you can carry with you at all times because a 380 in your hand is better than a 45 in the truck.
