    What I've learned from the responses to this video:

    1. Some people are as committed to their choice of caliber as they are to their spouse... brobably even more.
    2. It's true that most 9mm users will always cry "shot placement" in a caliber debate.
    3. Those who choose .45 will alswys decry "stopability" as their reason.
    4. The .40 carrier is very comfortable with their caliber and just sits back and watches the firework during a caliber debate.
    5. Those who carry .22 will always challenge someone to take a shot from their gun.

    I've learned a lot from the many responses also (not just here on INGO).

    It's amazing how people hear and see what they want to hear and see, regardless of the message we were actually trying to communicate. It's an interesting study in psychology.

    Some clearly took it as a light-hearted attempt at humor and poking fun at the debate itself, not specific calibers. Some claimed the video confirmed that the 45 was superior. Others claimed that the 40 was obviously shown to be superior, because it diffused the situation, lol. Some got upset that we laughed at 9mm. The literal folks questioned why a robbery would be taking place in such a remote location. hahahaha

    I learned that it is good thing that I am switching from 40 to 45 because I really don't want a man hug from ESRICE. (Que I will do the man hug. He reminds me of a big, squishy teddy bear).


    Wait......what were you saying about being to literal? Oh right 40 rules! :rockwoot:

    What can I say. Some guys have a loose concept of humor?
    Meaning, the joke fell flat.

    Ok, maybe I'm wrong. I thought que was stating someone said that.

    You guys actually had a message ? I thought it was just more INGO comedy .

    Don't get me wrong , I understand the how the nancy boys would get their panties in a wad because they're put on blast on the net for carrying those inferior calibers .

    36,656 views in 48 hours. I can't ever show my face at a gun show again. :ugh:
    Funny but true. Maybe you'll get some free coffee at the next 1500? :rockwoot:
    Putting it on Reddit and multiple Facebook gun groups really helped.I know one of them I posted it in has over 5,000 members. It was pinned to the top of the group and has a boatload of likes and replies.
    Hopefully Que monetized his channel and gets a few shekels out of this.

    Love it! I now know what caliber to buy next. Truth be told I own a 40 Glock 23. I'm sorry. Made a mistake. Was ignorant. Now, time for a nice Hazelnut cappuccino.

    I have a couple different .40s and now am thinking I need to trade them off... I don't like making friends that are quite that "special"...
