The interesting part comes 33 seconds in where the first two shots into the jug are .380 followed by a single .45 acp

I saw this and I'm continually reminded by it exactly why I chose the .45 ACP...

That .380 followed by the .45 will fuel some "I told you so's"!

That was fun to watch.

Are you trying to tell me that a 230 grain bullet hits harder then a 90 grain. I don't believe it.

**Grip** · 01-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Actually I think it says they are using 185 grain JHP in the .45 and perhaps FMJ in the .380; I don't know but still it is dramatic!

You know I see alot of talk about .45 vs .40 vs 9mm vs .380 etc. I think the bottom line is as long as you hit the fool you're ok. I was reading an article and it said you want stopping power, not killing power. By show of hands you wants to get hit by a .380? That jug got hit once and was leaking from both sides.

And then it got hit by the .45acp and EXPLODED apart.

I like my .45 even more now.
