Mon, 20 May 2024 22:23:20 +0000

A pistol going “out of battery” means that it won’t fire, because the action (slide/breech) isn’t fully secured in the proper forward position.

What caliber to use? Well, it all boils down to the situation. Basically, if you really need the stopping power, then yes, get a higher-power bullet (i.e. .40 S&W, .357 SIG, 10mm, .357 Magnum, etc.) If you’re a citizen and just need it for self defense, even a .22 or .25 ACP mouse-gun will be a deterrent once an attacker sees you pull one out.
