I allways was thought that shot placement was key?
Personaly I would rather use a .25 that handels well, than a .500 that I would only get one shot off with. Ive heard of many storrys where the .45, .40 havent stopped someone with one shot. Face it, their is no magic bullet. Their is also alot of ammo that increaces the 9x19 killing power.
A double tap with a 9mm isnt dificult,with practice. Cost of ammo does add up if you wana be proficant with a handgun. I think its kinda silly to take a 9mm to practice with, then using a .45 during a real situation. Kinda makes sense to me, to use the weapon your used to.
Having a high clip compasity is also a good idea. This isnt a old western movie where everyone "playes by the rules". Their is a good chance, you would be facing more than one armed BG.
Thats just my take on it.
Other than that, use what your confortable with.
