Hey guys,
I can't believe how many guys think that the 9mm is a lousy self defense round. Now don't get me wrong, I agree and like to carry a kimber 45 with 230 gr black hills ammunition. I also love my Kahr P9. The 9mm is a great personal defense round period. Loaded with a proper bullet it can have up to 430 fts of energy at the muzzle. Right up there with the 45 ACP. I know I wouldnt want to be hit with one of those anywhere on my body. Now the magazine restriction does take a big bonus away from the 9mm (high capacity). I would recommend whatever gun you shoot best. Shot placement is everything. I saw a video of a state trooper who was killed with one 22 lr round out of a pistol while he shot the criminal 5 TIMES with his 357 magnum. Hope that helps
