A 9mm as a CCW piece?
The guys at the local gun club and gun shop cannot accept the 9x19MM as a serious CCW arm. From 1989 until 1996 I carried a Glock M19 as a federal agent. I had 15 rounds in the mag, so the desired "One Shot Stop" may have needed Two or Three Rounds, But I was not buying the ammo, so who cares?
I still carry my Glock M19, a P-38 and a P-08 Luger alternately as a CCW arm along with a M1911A1 and a M65 .357 S&W as CCW pieces.
Even today, we hear "War Stories" out of Iraq about the 9mm shortcomings because the Military uses Ball ammo. There are some very good 9mm rounds available to CCW folks today. I load my 9mms RIGHT.
Who likes the 9mm for CCW?
