Ok, I truly am not trying to start any commotion here... but I am shocked at how small 9mm ammo is now. Ok, it never changed sizes. I just have not been around it in a while.
I went shooting with a bunch of guys recently and they had all kinds of guns, including almost all major semi auto hand gun calibers. (Side note, one guy had the newer berretta 40 - man, what an ugly mo (the gun not the guy)... but it was the smoothest and lightest recoil 40 I have ever shot due to the rotating barrel.) We were all reloading at the same station and I was amazed at how small 9mm is... it literally felt like I was looking at it for the first time. It felt a little bigger than 22. Now, I know that is not the case, but it really is how it felt. In all honesty, the 40 felt small too - of course because size wize they aren't too far off. The contrast juist struck me though.
I have no issues with any of the calibers and would not want to be fired at by any of them... but it really did surprise me. Anyone else ever had this?
