LOL I guess the argument is different when you use fractions vs thousands of an inch!
What about +P 9mm vs 10mm...... same bullets different velocity
So a .380 [9x17] and 9mm [9x19] have the same stopping power?
Just add 1/10 of an inch ( that's 100 thousands [aka, 1+ two 0s] for those of you in Rio Linda) and you've got a .50 cal. ; that will blow your arm clean off !!!!!!!
See my post, #78, for my true feelings on this matter!!!
