I don't like the 9mm any more than I do the 38 for a ccw piece, I just don't. That being said it is alot better than a 380, or a big fat nothing.

My main problem with the 9mm stems from the fact that you can gently bump to the 40 S&W or the 357 sig and see a good deal more stopping power, or you can go all the way and go with a 45 and never have to worry about it again.

If I am buying a new ccw gun the 9mm aint it. If I am trying to use what I have on hand and its the choice bewteen an accurate and reliable 9mm, and any other caliber that isnt accurate or reliable then I am packing the 9mm.

me I tend to pack a 38 +P snub for light carry, and a 1911A1 milspec 45 acp for heavy carry.

"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
