[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1572858, member: 18314"] Why do you change pistol calibers? Recoil, round count, and platform. No one's going to argue that a single .45 FMJ round has a slightly better chance of hitting the nervous system than a 9mm FMJ round because the size of the bullet can make a near-miss into a hit. So if a bullet expands, you keep recoil, round count, and platform the same, but you get a larger bullet. A 9mm expanding round will end up with a diameter larger than a .45 ACP FMJ round. SO every little bit helps. [/QUOTE]
