[QUOTE="jcizzle, post: 1550552, member: 18220"] I agree with this. I had heard all the blah blah about how 9mm was for whimps and if you "really" wanted a self defense gun, you should get at least a .40. However, I would be purchasing the ammo for my gun myself so that made me think. - 9mm rounds cost much less - cheaper ammo means i can afford more practice shooting - if i'm to carry a gun, it is my RESPONSIBILITY to become as accurate, familiar, safe as possible thus practicing VERY often. I decided that I could afford more range/practice rounds with the 9mm so it would be a better choice for me and thus the more responsible decision since none of the folks trying to talk me into a larger caliber were willing to pay for my ammo. One of the guys happens to have a .45 that he carries but when we go to the range, he never wants to shoot it because he says it's too expensive. I tell him he's foolish to not become more familiar with it and shoot it as often as posible and if he can't afford to, he should either not carry it or get a gun that fires cheaper caliber rounds.
