In my opinion the 9MM sucks as a defensive round. I like the 45 auto much better and can shoot it better also. Rocky is right about the new high tech ammo for the 9mm . But I still like the 45. But having a 9MM even with ball ammo beats holding a knife in a gun fight. Oh BTW the 45 ammo that is used by a lot of the Special ops groups usually isn't ball ammo...especially when used in terrorist operations. Terrorists and guerillas aren't covered in the Geneva convention rules...or so I was told...a long time ago in a galaxy far far away
