This video argues against the 'bigger is better' mentality for handgun calibers, emphasizing that more bullets and faster follow-up shots are crucial for effectiveness in self-defense and duty scenarios. The speaker, identifying as an 'average big bore handguns do in fact suck video enjoyer,' draws on personal experience and observations to debunk common myths surrounding calibers like .44 Magnum, 10mm, and .45 ACP, advocating for 9mm as the superior choice due to its balance of capacity, controllability, and effectiveness when paired with quality ammunition.

Ben Stoeger discusses revisiting the Glock platform in .40 S&W caliber with iron sights, framing it as 'shooting on hard mode.' He explains this choice is driven by a surplus of 180-grain Gold Dot .40 S&W ammunition acquired from a police agency. Stoeger contrasts the shooting experience with 9mm, noting the increased discomfort and reduced motivation to shoot more with .40 S&W due to its snappier recoil.

This guide details the correct method for dry fire practice, emphasizing smooth trigger control, identifying the wall, clean break, and practicing trigger reset. It warns against 'commando style' jerking, which hinders muscle memory development. Proper dry fire, as demonstrated by Jarod from GUNBROS, is crucial for improving live-fire performance.

This video discusses the practical application of utilizing free .40 S&W ammunition for training. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, advises against trying to mitigate the increased recoil of .40 S&W with compensators, instead recommending embracing it to enhance training value. He suggests using a standard Glock 22 for this purpose with minimal investment, focusing on maximizing the learning experience from the heavier recoil.

This video from Line 45 provides a comprehensive overview of 10 calibers experiencing significant price drops in 2025, making them ideal for stocking up.
