9 vs 45...thoughts

[Barbarosa]

Get a revolver in .38 special.

[ElDub1950]

Odd numbered calibers are for sissys. Real men, with visible abs, only shoot .40, 10mm, .50 or 308

My 9's are for the wife and kids, the .45's are for me.

9mm is metric
The metric system is embraced by those godless communist countries.

Are you a godless communist?

Two kinds of civilizations these days. The ones that use the metric system, and the ones who put a man on the moon. You against space travel?

357sig or 45gap, much better.

[den888]

Both great defense rounds, comes down to shot placement.

Classic

[santacruzgunner]

Get a crossbow or a taser

What were the guns OP? It wasn't the caliber that you were accurate with. It was the gun.

[vliberatore]

But you guys are missing the bigger picture here - the cartridge size doesn't matter nearly as much as whether it's fired from a Glock or a 1911

[Kwikvette]

I was thinking the same

Well, the Russians were the first into space so maybe the 9x18 Makarov would be more appropriate? That 1911/Glock abomination pic is gonna give me nightmares tonight, btw. If pistols could have Halloween costumes...

Learn to reload and the cost will no longer even be a part of the equation.

9mm can be curved around objects if you fire with a sweeping motion. 45acp is fired from God's gun. But if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would. Then, 'Merica.

This.

[Ranger20]

Both

What YOU shoot best with is the one you should concentrate on between the two.
9mm is usually easier for followup shots. Given the same platform.
