I will say this..... there have been a few times when shooting at falling steel plates that one of my 9mm bullets has hit the plate square on, dead center, and failed to knock it over; but a hit from a .45 puts the plate down with authority. I have ended up trying to place my 9mm shots on the plate so as to maximize the amount of leverage the impact has against the hinge. You never have to do that with a .45. I am fairly certain that a couple of 230 grain HST JHPs at a muzzle velocity/energy of 890 fps/404 ft-lb will hit someone harder than a couple of 135 grain Critical Duty JHPs at 1010 fps/306 ft-lb.
I don't know what you're using for range ammo, but you might consider Winchester WB NATO. It packs a little more punch than typical range ammo. I use it because it has similar recoil characteristics to my defensive loads. and it cost maybe a buck more than the standard WWB stuff
Thanks for the tip! :thumbs2:
I find the wwb NATO to be more accurate as well since it's a little heavier hotter load
Costs a little more, I know ill be buying a case next time it's on sale

Re: The prodigal returns home!

I've been debating a 45 for carry but most of them tend to be too bulky for my liking
My Hk45c would likely be my top choice for 45 carry out of what I have now due to its weight savings over 1911
But the new shield 45 has me thinking things over again because I shoot my shield 9 better than any other carry gun I own
