Winchester’s 115-grain bullet is on the lighter side for 9mm rounds, which usually range from 115 to 147 grains. Like most things, bullet weight is a tradeoff. What you lose in hitting power, you gain in velocity. Remember, it’s not necessarily how hard you hit the target—it’s ho...
Common 9mm bullet weights normally available at most stores are 115, 124, and 147 grain. The 115-grain loads tend to be higher velocity and the 147s somewhat slower, even subsonic. A good compromise is a 124-grain bullet, this is also super popular with the police and military. In fact...
is magazine size. The 1911’s magazines were designed for the longer, wider .45 ACP round (1.275 vs. 1.169 overall cartridge length for the .45 and 9mm respectively, bullet diameter difference of .097). They need some help in order to feed the smaller 9mm...

than the 10mm, with a bullet diameter equivalent to 9mm. One of the things that made .357 SIG unique compared to its predecessors was that it was specially designed to have greater bullet expansion while also reaching significantly higher velocities than any other semi-auto cartridge at that ...
Have you shot the new VP9 from Heckler & Koch? I put one through its paces with lots of ammo and shooters, then give you the skinny on this gun.
So, for a .45ACP to be as compact and concealable as a 9mm, it has to carry fewer rounds. Another critical factor is shootability… A .45ACP 230 grain HP will travel at 950 ft/s and generate 461 ft-lb of energy. A 9mm 115 grain HP, a projectile that’s half the size of the...
The scope comes equipped with interchangeable .17 and .22 bullet drop turrets that provide trajectory compensation for .17 Magnum rimfire 17 grain bullets, as well as 40, 38, and 36 grain .22 bullets. This feature ensures that you hit your target with every shot, regardless of the bullet ...
