but some weird s*** is going down in my neighborhood and I started to feel like .45 might be a little better than 9mm
Though I feel, as many do, that any handgun is there to buy you time to get to your rifle/shotgun - having the bigger bore for when things get hinky is not a bad idea. I have a pf9 9mm that I carry 90% of the time, unless I'm going somewhere were trouble is statistically more likely, then I carry the Glock 30 (soon to be a .357). Hickock did the same thing. Carried his .36 caliber revolvers when things were normal, switched to his .44s when he was expecting trouble. That's the kind of advice that doesn't get old.
