no turd here buck, that was actually my point. I am carrying essentially the snubnose revolver version of the 9mm. I carry it because it is dead nuts accurate, and it dissapears in a pants pocket in the summer. In the winter when I arguably have more places to hide one I carry my 1911a1.
And the only reason the 9 is good enough for the british SAS is because the get pretty well unlimited ammo so they can blast all 15 rounds into somebody then reload four times before they even start to sweat. If all you are talking about is one bad guy that is all great and good, but if you are talking about multiple bad guys I want something that will drop them on the first shot then stay till the end of the picknic. I don't want to stand around plugging four holes into one before I go on to the next. Bad guys seem to be AWFULLY impatient about that sorta thing and never seem to want to wait on you. I am even now trying to find a place to get my blackhawk 45lc cut down to about a sheriffs model length, have the rear sights taken off and cut to a notch, then have a birdshead grip put on so I can carry it instead of the 38 in the summer. 6 shots of 45 colt is more than enough until you get to 7 bad guys, at which point you make your way to the car, pull out your 30-30 winchester and commence.
The only purpose in my 38 +p snub is to get me to where I have a bigger gun stashed.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
