does size really mater when you catch two to the chest and one to the head? you can carry 15 rounds in a 9mm as oppose to 7rounds in a 45 of the same weight and 9mm is everywhere. not to mention less barrel raise for faster follow up shots.
My 1911 holds 18 rounds of 45 acp. And trust me, if you know how to shoot, you're not going to be any slower with a .45 than you are with a 9. My son, at 14 years old, was running off aimed double taps with a .45 faster than some LEO's were with their DA 9's...
