Shooting someone dead once with a.45 is preferable to stitching him with 1/2 a clip of 9mm and having him still pull the pin on a grenade!I had a neighbour who has 13 9mm slugs on his mantle removed from his lower torso + legs thanks to a Nazi with a Schmiezer SMG and he survived the encounter.The Brits dumped the 38SW and went back to the .455 Webley's for the same reason..........Harold
