Just looking for some opinions on this, pro's and con's to different calibers.

How do you feel about using a conversion kit for 22 at the practice range with your carry gun?On the other end of the spectrum is the 22LR... it's cheap enough that a person can practice with it a lot, but...
wow.All the .45 guys know that that extra 1ft/lbs of muzzle energy makes all the difference. :quirky
I carry 9mm now andplan to get a5.7x28 next summer. Reason being is that, as already mentioned, it's all about shot placement. The low recoiling 9mm will let me put 2-3 holes in your head while you're still trying to regain a sight picture from the excessive recoil of your .45, with which you missed your first shot because you couldn't afford enough ammo to practice regularly. Move on tothe 5.7 and it's game over because thanks to the near zero recoil, I'll be able to emptyan entire magazine of bullets with the same muzzle energy as a 9mm +pinto a 1" diameter spot before you even squeeze off a single shot.
Bottle line, it's all about shot placement and follow-up shot placement. The difference between a .45 ACP at 400ft/lbs and a 9mm standard pressure at 380ft/lbs is a joke when you're looking at more like 1,000+ft/lbs for a true one shot stop.
I shoot A 9mm with A 12 rd. mag. and 1 in the pipe,I don't plan to stop shooting till the threat is ELIMINATED.Put enough holes in the BG and they can,t plug them all!AWDstylez wrote:wow.All the .45 guys know that that extra 1ft/lbs of muzzle energy makes all the difference. :quirky

maybe little stick figures can't shoot a 45.
45ACP does not recoil that much in the hands of a man maybe a woman or a little boy... cough cough....
its been proven over and over again the 9mm can't do the job like a bigger round.
