Anyone drop 9 for 45?

[musketjon]

I don't own anything that starts with '' 9'' so it's 45 all the way.

I did for about 3 years switch from 9 to 45 on nightstand duty. Then went back to 9, now 40 for the last 6 months. 9 has been nightstand duty for 7 of the past 11 years for me.

Haha I just realized that I'm your sig!!

Now try a 1911 in 9mm!

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 wanted to try .45, but I am afraid that if I do, I will start stacking .45 ammo and I am too deep in 9mm to start another caliber.

You know the rules; buy cheap, stack deep.

It's not like you have to go right to a 1,000 round case. Buy a box here and there. Before you know it, ammo pile

9 for the weak hand and 45 for the strong hand duh

Never got into another pistol caliber. My money goes a lot farther with 9mm. For anything heavier duty, the rifles get the call.

Unless I am buying specialty ammo, I feel cheated if I don't get the 1k round case.

45 ammo is way too much money. I sold my 45. Best decision in a long time.

[D.A.V.I.D.]

Nope

[missiontrails]

Nope, but I dropped .45 for 9mm.

[SheepDog78]

Right now I shoot 9mm, 45, and 10mm. No need to drop any of them, they each serve a purpose and ammo is cheap enough.

I have 2 9mm guns and the rest are mostly .45ACP. When introducing new folks to shooting for the first time at the range they shoot the 9mm. Once we've confirmed safety and procedures, they shoot the .45. The comments are always the same.. "Wow that did not kick like I thought it would"

Yes the .45s are bigger, shoot a lower pressured cartridge and have a perceived less recoil due to a slower bullet and heavier counterbalance. It's all about perception.

If I didn't have to worry about concealability would chose a .45 acp. 1911.

Love my SA Loaded 1911 in .45 ACP, and it is on my CCW, but I never carry it as it is very hard to conceal compared to both my M&P 9 FS and Shield 9. Especially in the rising heat of the desert. I think I carried it once this winter only because it was in the 30's and a heavy jacket was required which concealed it easily. Now I will say that I do not have an IWB holster for it, only an OWB one. But If I have to draw and shoot my CCW, The criminal I am defending myself will not know the difference between .45 and 9mm if I do my part.

When my CCW comes up for renewal I will likely change my 1911 to a revolver in .38 special which is smaller and easier to conceal.
