[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1585080, member: 18314"] I don't think a single person here disagrees that a .45 is always better than a 9mm, bullet for bullet, in terms of "stopping power." .45 advocates need to stop with that argument, because it's beating a dead horse. But is the extremely slight advantage in "stopping power" worth the increased recoil, increased cost for practice, and decreased magazine size? In a high-stress, life-or-death situation, do you want to rely on hitting your targets with 8 rounds or with 16, given that for almost all purposes, a hit with the different bullets will create the same effect?
