9mm ammo sale has ended

A huge thank you to CGN and it's incredible members. This sale has sold out. Please don't tell my shipper that there was a sale or he won't show up on Monday. Same goes for the Canpar driver - he never appreciates loading 2,000 pounds of ammunition.
Take care everybody and have a great weekend.
 
Why do people pick 9 mm over 40? I get that it's more readily available. other then that, what is the draw?


its cheaper
more rounds per mag (merica)
less recoil
more guns are commonly chambered for it

others could probable give their own opinions on why but those are mine

It's cheaper, and more readily available, like you said. Lower recoil. For many activities, the cons of .40 outweigh the pros.

If I can shoot short range steel challenge matches with 9mm and be in the same class as someone shooting .40, why wouldn't I?
 
If you look at kinetic energies in the two rounds they are very comparable. A 9mm is slightly faster the .40 cal is slightly heavier. If you double the weight of a bullet you double the energy. If you double the speed of a bullet you quadruple the energy. Because of these two factors they work out to be the same energy. The problem with 9mm is that if it's a FMJ it has a decent chance of over penetration, this means some of the bullets energy doesn't stay in the target. This over penetration issue is fixed by using hollowpoints or other expanding ammunition. The .40 cal is 10% wider then a 9mm so it has less chance of overpentration with a FMJ. If both calibres are using hollowpoints they will have a near identical amount of stopping power. Since both rounds have the same amount of stopping power the 9mm gets an edge of the what's "better" factor because it's cheaper to practice and an unpinned magazine holds more.

Now queue all the people that think bigger is better and completely ignore what science says on the subject.
 
My shipper is going to have a stroke when he sees these shipping orders this morning. Give us a couple of days and we will get your orders out to you. Canpar will email you a tracking number as soon as your orders is picked up from our facility.
Thank you again to CGN and its members.
