in tems of hand guns, what does fire power mean to you? more bullets, bigger bullets? or both? give examples...

To me firepower is BIG bullets and LOTS of them!

unfort, having over 15 rds of .45acp in a mag is almost nonexistent.

They don't make an autoloading pistol in a caliber that I'd consider worthy of the term "firepower". Just my opinion.

I think of ...

 

 

So maybe it's not a handgun but

Just getting a gun at almost 50 years of age, 5 rounds of 45ACP is a lot of firepower to me. There are 14 rounds of PDX1 45ACP loaded up in my pistol and can't imagine what kind of trouble I'd possibly be in where that would not be enough to solve the problem.

Firepower is the ability to stop the threat before it can harm me or my loved ones.

 

 

S&W 500 has lots of fire! And power lol

 

Firepower is a few rounds of very hot .357 mag through a 686.

I find that any discussion of firepower is usually just an argument in semantics.

x10. Be it a .22 or 00 buckshot, whatever gets the job done.

firepower

 

firepower to me is the amount of ammo needed to stop the threat. whether it's 1 .45 ACP or 100 .22LR - whatever works.

Only if you can hit your target. To me "firepower" mean allot of rounds. It doesn't matter what round you're talking about, from the .22 up to whatever, but allot of them. I've yet to hear of a firearms round that is not capable of killing, so to me, someone with 10k rounds of .22lr has more firepower than someone with 5k rounds of .45acp. Just my opinion.

Probably the best post in the thread.
