Nicely played.

Thanks for the reminder on that link. Hands on practical/experience explained in a way most will understand it.

That was probably your best choice.Guy at work told me that if you get hit with a .45 anywhere your heart will stop, he said he was in the military and knew this as fact.
I walked out of the room while he was still talking.
Essentially, whatever round YOU feel most comfortable defending your life with.I know this is a bit of a loaded question, but which is the better self-defense round? 9 mm or .40 S&W??
Without a doubt, a gun on your hip is far better than one in the safe..22 is always a viable option as well.
No round is necessarily better than another, out in the real world--a SD scenario doesn't unfold in a vacuum under specific rules. SD is dynamic, with a plethora of variables.
If you are poking holes in watermelons, then a .40 will give you a bigger bang for your buck...probably. Depends on the round though. 9mm HP Hydro would definitely cause more damage when shot in the chest than a .40 without all the bells and whistles...if all variables are the same.
Important things to consider...IMO:
Comfort: If the handgun you carry isn't comfortable to carry, you run the risk of either carrying it in a less effective position, or not carrying at all.
Confidence: One ought to carry a handgun chambered in a caliber that allows for confidence in follow-up shots.
A .22 or 9mm is a way better round if you carry it 100% of the time than a .40 you only carry 50% of the time.
Your hammer is back.Sadly, I only carry my .45ACP EVERY TIME I live my house.
Used to be. Not anymore. With the FNX-45 replacing my M1911, the only time the hammer is back is when I'm not working. My work holster won't allow it.Your hammer is back.
I thought you were into 10mm.9mm vs 40S&W. HMMM, Double HHMMMMM
I pick 45acp.
