If all else were equal we would all be carrying 45acp. However all else is not equal. Consider the size weight capacity and recoil benefits of the 9mm and we have an argument.
When we look at terminal ballistics, the benefit gain from 9mm to 45acp does not outweigh the previously mentioned gains the 9mm has over 45acp.
The average shooter needs all the help they can get to make hits and the 45 caliber round makes a 0.0" hole when you miss.
Still waiting on .45s to crash to the kind of prices we were seeing on .40s last year. Everyone in the classifieds still wants $1,100 for their used 1911. Guess it can't be that obsolete yet.
Don't you threaten me with a good time!
Being a fan of .40, I was happy to capitalize on others new distain for all things .40. Made my ammo cheap and available.
Just get James Yaeger to day .45 sucks. They'll follow.
