I didn't say it wasn't effective. I just said I didn't like the 9..for that matter I don't like Glocks either. Just my opinion. As far as 9mm being effective. Had a good friend that got into a gun fight with a felon..eneded up dead after putting 5 rounds into him. Killed the guy..but he got one round into the cop with a 45 and killed my friend.. Yep I understand stuff happens. ....and this was many moons ago. 9 Ammo is probably much better now....but so is 45 ammo.
I do however like some of the guns that are chambered for the 9mm...such as this copy of the Browning. Always liked the Browning...and the S&W 39..in fact I have a 639 and it shoots good(which means better than I can shoot). I actually have a love affair with Smith revolvers. Love 'em. I've shot almost 30 garden raiding rabbits with that Smith 28 so far this summer. But I carry a 1911..... when I carry.
Even round the ranch..good coyote killer when I can get 'em under 50 or so yards. Got one the other day at about 30 yds. Ya know..if ya don't have a fire stick(long gun) in your hands they don't run till it's too late.
