[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2081046, member: 12170"] With modern bullet construction, you give up virtually nothing in terms of ballistic performance with a proper 9mm loading, but you gain extra capacity. I know most people consider themselves Wyatt Earp, but the truth is, even the pros miss. I will take the reduced recoil and extra capacity any day. Take a look at the chart results below. Remember the FBI recommends a load reach a minimum of 12" of penetration to be considered effective. Note that several of the 45 Auto cartridges don't even meet this basic minimum requirement.
