9mm vs 500 Magnum

[Bomb Shot]

Which one is better for self defense?

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Depends if you are defending against people or grizzly bears.

[Adversary]

…Under most circumstances you're better off just getting good with a 9mm. Even if it means you spend boatloads of money on ammo just to practice your aim.

Also, remember - it's easier to argue self defense if you're the only one who survives that engagement. As in if you use less-than-lethal force that can and will be held against you in the court of law. Same is true for home invasion.

Course, disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

That is a very odd way to rule a court. The man who is shot is alive. If I had the intention to kill i would make sure of it. That is why serial murders actual kill their victims and not just let them go.

Why would you need a high caliber and cumbersome piece? A .38 does the job just fine, you're not going to be assaulted by soldiers with body armor, it's just some drug addled loser.

The purpose of the legal system is to manage resource depletion.

This outcome makes sense in that context.

I swear there's more James Bond going on in today's society than at the time the novels were written. Whole family found killed, case closed label as suicide.

.500 magnum is a gimmick sold as a gimmick to people wanting to show off a gimmick. It was never intended to have any practical purpose or to be used as a serious weapon, but was just the product of an era where several manufacturers were trying to one-up one another by taking the title of having the most powerful handgun. In that era, we seen .454 Casull, .460 S&W magnum, .480 Ruger, 500 S&W magnum. And several other spinoffs.

9mm is a time tested, battle proven, practical cartridge designed to actually serve a purpose of defense, and actual fights.

There's no contest, 9mm is a serious caliber, .500 Magnum is basically clown shoes.

[Hairy Hands Harry]

Neither one. The idea that guns offer actual self defense is just a lie.

According to crime statistics about 2 million people in the US use them for self defense every year. This includes older people fending off home invaders, women fending off predators, etc. I would be embarrassed to make your comment.

Why use a gun when you can just learn Kung Fu? (Joke)
