yes, i must agree with all above post. i never felt under gunned with a 9 until i was at a gun show last year and opened a box of .45 golden sabers, and i thought about them compared to the ones in my clip in my waist band. made the 9 loads look itsy bitsy.

Unhappy Who likes the 90mm for CCW?

kt, Remember what a couple of us have said. Hitting your target with the "little" 9mm is better than being really close with a missed .45 slug.

kt,

never had a problem hitting on target once I got familiar with my .45 acp. I would like to get a "one gun does it all" handgun, but haven't found that yet... still lookin'. If you can hit a relatively small target at normal range, just about any round will do. It's all about where the bullet goes.

I like the 9mm. While a Deputy Sheriff for five years in Northern Missouri, I carried a S&W 659 loaded with 115 gr. Winchester Silvertips. I now have two 9's, one is a S&W 6906 and the other a Taurus Millennium Pro. Both are now filled with Hornady Critical Defense loads.
