.32 S&W Long vs. .400 Corbon

Okay, I'm really going to put this one to rest once and for all... I'm tired of you guys getting confused over the merits/inequalities of these two cartridges.

It's obvious that the .32 S&W Long is a better cartridge. Far more people shoot this cartridge every day for self defense and target pleasure than the obvious pretentious contender that the .400 corbon represents.

While .32acp owners may frown at this 'supposed' usurpation of their favored cartridge's dominance, we all may chuckle inwardly at the naivity they represent when we inwardly know and appreciate the ultimate self defense cartridge...

You fool! Everybody knows that the .32 Short Colt outperforms all other handguns by leaps and bounds! Seriously though, its nice to see someone poke fun at the caliber wars.

I'm just glad that I'm wandering today's modern urban jungles and canyons armed with my 'wunder .32'...

.32 Long is a wussy cartridge.

You really want a .25 Bacon & Bliss.

Bacon and Bliss, huh?

Is that served with mayo or horseradish?

The 38 Colt has the most stopping power in a pistol cartridge. We all know that it was very good for stopping insurgents with body armor. Its the greatest thing in existence.

Come on, now. It's all about the .22 CB (short of course). That way when you shoot in self-defense, his buddies don't know he's been shot, so you only have to fight off one perp.

I duno, I prefer .32 S&W wadcutters outa my Hammereli! At about 500 fps.

I know it works cause I seen it in a movie, some chick that was trained to be a mall ninja had one to take out BGs.

I hope I spelled that right! I don't want to upset the Hammereli purists out there.
