[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3031760, member: 3099"] Some sound advice in this post. I'll go ahead and say that it hasn't always been this way. .357 mag and .45ACP were once the kings of the self defense world with an edge to the .357. EVERYTHING else followed behind by a long ways for two reasons. Underpowered or grossly overpowered. Today bullet technology has made the 9mm basically equal the .45 in effectiveness and now basically all defense loads will pass the same established parameters considered acceptable regardless of caliber. Like I said that didn't used to be the case. Today we also have the .357Sig which will duplicate the magnum in a couple of loads if you can find them. I'll still take a 125 grain HP bullet running 1450 or more all day every day, but it's not always feasible. Good to know we have better options in those cases. [/QUOTE]
