This is… its an older meme, motivational poster format, wouldn’t surprise me at all if it was made by a gung ho Gulf War vet either before or not long after Iraq 2 Electric Boogaloo commenced, drenched in Americana gun culture pride.
There are plently of pistol rounds other than .45 ACP that are quite good in combat scenarios, most at this point would probably agree that having more 9mm over less .45 is preferable, otherwise 2011s wouldn’t even be a thing.
Also: its less common, but uh… 5.7?
5.7 is actually more likely to pen body armor, than a 9mm or a .45, if your scenario is you’re fighting against other people with body armor.
And you can make a double stack magazine with it.
And there are a fair number of Police, Intelligence, Military organizations that use the FiveSeven regularly.
And… there are now even a growing number of hunters who will tell you that some kind of pistol in 5.7 is their backup, in case of something big ambushing them.
357 is of course very powerful, but they’re also huge rounds in comparison to .45 or 9m… kinda hard to fit into a semi-auto pistol.
it’s just the usual “hurr durr anything smaller than .45 is for girls” bullshit. Usually espoused by the sort of ancient old farts who remember carrying one in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam; and who dislike the general shift to smaller bullets going faster because they don’t understand terminal ballistics.
Nah the sig has way more feats if you read the lore. Honestly I think the power scaling is all over the place. Magnums are on fraud watch tbh haven’t done shit for feats in years.
That’s not at all what it’s specifying. It says “don’t carry a handgun with a caliber lower than .40”
It’s pro-45ACP / anti-9mm boomer gun shit. I have no clue where you’re getting this “smaller means rifle” from the image posted. Like yeah, typically smaller means rifle, but that’s not at all what the image says.
The caliber one seems silly. A 9mm is .35 inches but has about the same power of a .45 but a .357 is more powerful than both
Yeah, this rule really irked me.

Unless you wanna talk about the .357 SIG.
… but we don’t talk about the .357 SIG …

Oh man, caliber debates. This shit is way more complicated than just X is more powerful than Y

And a .308 would smoke them all. It was specifying if you see smaller caliber, assume rifle.

Oh, yeah you’re right. I read that wrong. I was reading that as if the caliber of the gun fight is less than .4, don’t bring a handgun.
