buckhunter,

YES, and shoot two or three times at the Bad Guy. With a high capacity magazine, why would anyone shoot ONLY Once? I like the Winchester 115 grain Silvertips.

We had a training film, years ago, I showed at semi-annual firearms qualification. There were several scenarios where cops got whacked BECAUSE they shot a BG ONCE and expected to see the Hollywood version of a shootout.

I told my classes to "Shoot until the BG falls away from the front sight." It works!

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.
