I've shot a lot of 9mm ammo, both bullet types and brands. Can't say I've ever wanted one if my life was on the line. Not that they won't do the job - there's just better rounds available. I really like the .40 S&W, but if I were guaranteed a tough situation, I'd stick to the .45 or the 10mm. I believe that a texas ranger once said it best. When asked why he carried a .45, he replied "Because they don't make a .46".
Now they make 'em bigger than that, but it'll do. JMHO

gd357, i had seen a pretty clever end to the argument .45/9mm on another sight. a guy said, your 9 might expand, but my .45 wont shrink. that being said i like the 9 a lot, a g26 is what i carry except for the rarest occassions my lightweight .38. what is not to like about high capacity, low recoil, and 147 gr +p's? i can get a clip of 10 9mm's on target much faster than a clip of 7 .45's.
