I am not a big 9mm Para fan but I know it for what it is and more importantly I know it for what it can be, in a full support chambered barrel and custom gun. What kind of carry gun a 9mm is has almost everything to do with the ammo.
I used a 9x19mm major, race gun, in IPSC for a few years, until the 9x19mm major factor was no longer allowed by IPSC regs. Never had a round blow, but a 9mm major factor gun is a very, very bad hombre. It is sorta like a 15 or 20 round 357 mag and it is no body's idea of "not sufficient."
So, you go from ridiculous to ridiculous with the 9mm, somewhere between is a decent round. If you carry a 9 just make darned sure you ammo is up to the task intended.
