Why isn't this cartridge more popular? Ballistically it is flatter shooting, carries more energy than the 9mm, 40S&W, or 45ACP AND has the capacity of a 40. Finally, recoil isn't bad and is comparable to a hot 40 or 45 load. Price-wise post-Newtown is comparable to 45ACP.
So, is this round becoming more popular? I mean, Glock, S&W, Springfield, HK, & of course Sig - all have pistols chambered in this caliber. Do a few of the national agencies and the few dozen large LE agencies know something that most shooters don't?
I am not trying to start a caliber war nor is this an exercise in trolling as a mod from another forum accused me of and even gave me a freakin' warning against my account. That guy seem to think that any comments against 45ACP amounted to sacrilege.
I want to know who here shoots/carries this round and what y'all think of it.
