9mm is a .45 set to stun

[Murph]

The 9mm really is a .45 set to stun. Which is why I carry a .45. Friends don't let friends carry a mousegun.

18 well placed 9mm holes will stun the hell out of you.

Most shooters that I know that are proficient in the Failure Drill (or Mozambique) prefer the 9mm over the .45. As an owner of both, I have the .45 in a box in my extra room and the 9mm in my night stand loaded with my special hand loads.

Yea, but I still love my .40 S&W

Watch that, handloads will get you sued, and you will most likely lose in civil court even if you are 100% justified in the criminal arena. I know for us handloads are completely contraindicated. I just shoot my .45 better than I did any of my 9mm's except for the Browning High Power I gave my dad.

A steel ball bearing tipped hollow point 9 mil will blow a hole clean through you. You'll even be able to see daylight through the hole..

I like both my 9mm, but am considering a 45. I bought the 9mm so wife could also learn to shoot and get her CHL, but she does not seem interested.

Any one want a 9mm?

With high performance 9mm ammunition, it will get the job done with more capacity and less recoil to deal with. I haven't seen anything get deader with a 45 then a 9. I own 9/40/45 and have to say, 40SW is my favorite.

Murph,

I am with you, I want them stopped NOW.

[CaptainTom]

stop 'em with whatever you brung.

Here's one in case you cain't aim sogud

[Jhax129]

Carry whatever you shoot best with. No sense in sending flying ashtrays that don't hit anything.

[tertius]

Shot placement is the most important thing.

However, with Winchester Ranger T- Series

9mm = 320.00 foot pounds
40 SW = 391.83 foot pounds
45 auto = 418.39 foot pounds.

that is almost as bad as the 9mm j/k why not go .45

based on the way that I shot the last time I took out my 9mm, I think if my life depends on it I will stick with the 12 ga.

I took the 9mm out to the farm the other day, and honestly couldn't locate half of the shots in the back stop (an old farm house with wood walls -- I was firing at the back of a white fiberglass chair so the holes in the "target" showed up instantly.)

I may not be able to hit someone with a shot gun blast any better, but if I do miss, I can always use it as a club and beat the hell out of them.
