[QUOTE="ef9turbo, post: 3031757, member: 790"] What you need to remember is at the end of the day, your typical pistol carry rounds are just that, a pistol round, they just poke little holes in you. There isn't a magic bullet that will stop a threat any faster then the other; it's all about shot placement. For the above alone, I have transitioned everything I carry to 9mm. Bullet technology has improved so much over the years that a 9mm bullet expands to the size the larger rounds and has enough penetration to reach vital organs. 9mm has less recoil, which means faster follow up shots. 9mm has a higher magazine capacity, which means for those who don't train, have more "chances". 9mm is cheaper and readily available, which means you can afford professional training easier. Those are just a few reasons, and some of the main reasons 9mm has gained so much popularity. At the end of the day, whatever you carry, whether it's .22lr or a .44mag, train, train, train. Train with your guns, test your ammo choices, train with the gear you carry, get proficient with it like it's a 3rd hand. A highly trained shooter can kill you just as dead with a .22lr as he can with a .44mag, and probably easier with a .22lr. ;) [/QUOTE]
