I remember the impact that Don Johnson / Sonny Crockett had on the firearms world with his Bren Ten.
And I was 5 at the time.
It was such a neat question, and a good conversation. I still think that the .40 holds everything for everyone.
” I still think that the .40 holds everything for everyone.”
I have a .40 that I sometimes carry but when I want to reach out and touch something I grab my .357 Blackhawk with 7.5” barrel.
I have had defensive encounters with a home invader and a car full of gang members at an ATM in Florida. A 4o S&W would be fine for that. But, now I live in the Roosevelt National Forest in the Colorado Rockies and I have 0 human encounters and more black bear encounters in 20 years than I can remember, certainly over 10. There are mountain lions too, but I never had one attack me, unlike the bears. So I carry based on my likely threat and I don't want to see a bear with a 40 S&W on me. I swap mags, lighter, expandable loads in the city. Solids at home.
The 40 allows a 3 rd or 4th shot on mass
A 10 mm needs to be known for it’s recoil
My buddy worked for Bren we would test shoot the guns on occasion they were pretty crappy guns I had one for a while it sure rattled lot it was still fun But it was kinda cool to say you had the sonny crocket gun
