The People Who Carry .40 S&W
About this video
Colion presents a satirical sketch examining people who choose to carry .40 caliber handguns. He frames .40 carriers as caught between 9mm and .45 calibers, humorously suggesting they suffer from ‘caliber identity confusion’ and ‘habitual compromising disorder.’ Through a mock therapy session, Colion lampoons the endless caliber debate culture in the gun community.
Key takeaways
- Colion satirizes how gun owners often tie their personal identity to their chosen caliber and engage in intense online debates over 9mm vs .40 vs .45
- According to Colion, .40 caliber is seen by critics as ‘worst of both worlds’ (smaller than .45, sharper recoil than both, less power than 10mm) but by proponents as the ‘best of both worlds’
- Colion suggests many .40 carriers are former 9mm or .45 users who settled on .40 as a compromise, though he himself used to carry .40 before switching due to recoil preference
