I apologize, I inferred that when you asked "why on earth you would want FMG" that you couldn't think of a reason on earth to want FMG.

I apologize, I inferred that when you asked "why on earth you would want FMG" that you couldn't think of a reason on earth to want FMG.

People assume that because I spend most of my time quoting the "nice" bits of the Bible, and arguing for universal healthcare and free universities that I'm some sort of urban Liberal.

Whatt most people don't realise is that seven years ago I was going to university in expectation of entering Sandhurst and hopefully taking a Commission in the Intelligence Corps.

Turns out, I don't like killing things, but I know very well how to do it with firearms.

So, what I meant was:

"I can't really see much of a reason for FMG in a handgun in a civilian context."

I appreciate your apology, but I must say that just because I am English doesn't mean I don't know my way around a firearm.

Congratulations Strike! That's a great all purpose pistol. Beretta makes quality weapons. You'll of course need to get the PX4's mate, the CX4 - one of my favorite shooters. It's super accurate, can be used in indoor ranges, and isn't a bad choice for home defense either. Your mags will be interchangeable as well.



Everyone is gettings guns in the Backroom (well, everyone who lives in a nation that trusts them with that particular freedom). We should start a gun club. :grin:

May I ask what you majored in?

I know FMG are the "preferred rounds" for range shooting but I've used FMG and hollow point in a rifle, and at the end of the day you should shoot with the round you plan on using in the field - the preferred round for soft targets, especially at close range (people you shoot with handguns) is hollow point.

That's largely untrue in this context. If you can group well with a pistol at defensive ranges with FMJ, you can group well with any round. If you're really worried, just make sure to match the grains. Power differences and how they impact recoil are much more likely to throw you off than the type of bullet used. Throwing hollow points down range is a needless waste of money.
