[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1550473, member: 14195"] I cain't believe I'm the first to respond. I love to read the gentle discourse between the 9mm camp and the .45 camp. I've even started a fight or two over on the Mythbusteres Weapons forum. I think you're right though. In my humble opinion, I reckon about 99% of all folks don't want to get shot with any caliber and will cease and desist when shots are fired in their direction. The other 1% don't care if they get shot, and those folks are hard to stop with any caliber. I carry a 1911, and I'll freely admit it's too much gun for me. I cannot get off rapid followup shots due to recoil. About the best I can do is an aimed shot every 0.9 seconds. With my .22 Colt Woodsman I can do under 0.5 seconds. With about any gun, my best time for first shot from cover is about 2 seconds. However with my '51 Navy, 8 inch barrel and all, I can get an aimed shot off in under a second. Should that be my carry gun? So anyway, as much as I dislike the 9mm, maybe it would be a better choice for me than a .45. [/QUOTE]
