    Anyone drop 9 for 45?

    Not a caliber war thread. Just want to hear short stories from y'all if your 9s sit at home while the 45s get all the attention.

    I carry 9mm so my 45acp stays home. I prefer 9mm for me.

      Not in my house. .45 is on vacation due to price. It's much cheaper to shoot .40 but would love to shoot it only if the price is within .40 range.

            Started with 9, tried .40 but then shot .45 just one time. It was amazing how much I liked shooting it. I was even a better shooter. The 1911 just felt right in my hand. It felt right, and it looked right.
            I even like reloading the .45. So easy, and the reloads work perfect.

              I stopped shooting 9mm and moved to .45 when I bought my 1911. I reload so price not a huge factor. Then I bought a carry weapon in .45 so I stick with one caliber.

                There will always be a place for 45ACP: for knocking down bowling pins and Krauts.

                  Simple answer: own both. I do and always will.

                    But which one has more knockdown power?

                      It depends on my mood.

                      On a 1911 range day, it was always 45. 9 and 22 on HK, Sig, and CZ days.

                        .45acp is for hipsters and people who refuse to accept the past 25 years of ballistics innovation.

                          Aaaand the most consistent hits from my rack of HK 9s and 45s is.....G23C But it's still early in the game and the USP45T gave an awesome show versus metal targets.
