9mm vs .45 acp ?

"9 vs .45" is a drinking game on every shooting forum I know.

Do we need to add it here?

9mm vs .45 acp ? depends on how limp wristed you are..

Here's a question for the 2A people.

Which is a better old pistol - the Browning or the Luger?

This how bar fights World Wars get started.

Personally, all the Lugers I've shot have been far too finicky about ammo and downright prissy about cleanliness. Ol' Slabsides eats anything you stuff in the mag, as long as it's ball, and likes it as dirty as most of the minds in here. However, that reliability comes by rather loose tolerances (think of a Kardashian) and at the cost of accuracy.

For WWII pistolas, my favorites are the Browning HiPower and the Walther P38.

Now the modern 1911 -- well, that is a thing of beauty. Accurate and reliable.

Almost Germanic in their character, then?

Bought a Browning High Power the week after I turned 21. 14 shots are better than 7 or whatever the Luger held. Might not stop you in your tracks like the 45 though.

"Watered once since 1960 -- seems like my kind of plant!"

That's just before she added the asshole seeds and the whole thing went bad.

One and only time I shot pistols at an indoor gun range. I rented this and my buddy brought his Beretta 9mm. First time out I was hitting center mass 10 inch groups by my third mag at 50 feet. Got tired pretty fast after that. Very slow shots. Weaver stance. Lots of concentration and exhausting.

Yah, dat izt zo.

Overdesigned, overcomplicated, overengineered, overspeced, overpriced...

The BMW of firearms.

Canada is still issuing the Browning Hi-Powers that it bought during WWII.
Not the same model but the actual 80 year old pistols.

Why not? It's not like they're worn out, or anything.

OTOH the issue .45s on my ship in the Navy were a bunch of rattle cans. The slide lockup design keeps them fairly accurate but I thought it would be better to carry a bucket of them and throw them at an enemy rather than shoot them. Maybe the noise would scare 'em.
