Sorry if this is a dupe, but I found to be a good summary.

I believe the video references material in this sub-forum.

Great video. Should put to rest the constant and ongoing caliber debates.

Gomez is a friend, and a good guy. He is also a terminal ballistic junky like me.

I like this guy. Good stuff.

That video was great. 100% informative no BS and gives a definitive answer to the question at hand.

Great video. Exactly why I standardized my defensive pistols on 9mm Glock and 147gr Ranger T.

Well finally someone else that agrees that pistols arent good defense tools. NOw i gotta find a way to conceal my AR-15 and ill be good. :p That was a good video. Im still going to stick with a .40 over 9mm but that is only because of personal preference.

Surely you don't expect knowledge based arguments to end a debate?

The video summed up the basics very well. I've tried to explain this concept to my partners but nobody wants to carry 9mm for duty. It would be my first choice.

I've been thinking of ditching my xd for a glock 19 for a while now. I'm bound by policy to carry .40 cal for duty though, though there are rumors of allowing 9 and 45.

If you are limited to using the .40 on duty, then that is what I would use and train with. I also am required to use .40 on duty. I've tried mixing up my calibers for off duty work with the 9mm, and I found that I was doing myself a disservice by not maximizing my training time on the .40. I'm a better, and faster shot now that I have ever been by simply sticking with the one caliber and focusing all my training time on it.

Training with the same caliber and pistol type both on and off duty makes a lot of sense in most cases...

Makes sense I'll probably end up just getting a 23 anyways.
