.40 S&W or the .45 ACP
Trying to post a poll here, not sure if it will work.
Anyway, which would you all prefer. A .40 cal. S&W or a .45 ACP for 'whatever' it might be. Self defense, or target shooting or just whatever.

I choose both, but its not allowed. I own mostly 1911s in the proper caliber,lol, but also have a pair of 40's in tupperware as well. Either caliber is good, though the recoil is not as sharp when shooting the 45 vs the 40. You get more rounds in a mag with a 40, but other then target shooting, IMO more then 8 rounds is moot, except when arguing for the right to carry more then 10. Make sense?lol.

.45 man here.If I was going to go with the .40 dia. It would just naturally have to be the 10 mm.That little bit of length of the brass and the small amount of powder makes a whole lot more difference than you would think ......JMHO
