Ahhh, years ago the big debate was 9mm versus 45 ACP. Now we have 9mm versus 40 S&W. What next? 9mm versus 9mm? Keep it up guys, this has been a fun read. Don't stop now I'm looking forward to a continuation.

Actually this run all got started on a purely anti-40 podcast where the podcaster/trainer settled on 45.

We do not get to pick when the balloon goes up, only how well prepared we are to deal with it.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

LOL

You guys are always good for a chuckle. I must say people certainly do seem to have quite a few axes to grind when someone picks on their favorite caliber. I guess it provides us with endless discussion, and what greater purpose does an internet forum serve except to needlessly and constantly debate something of little imortance. I suppose if it was important enough we wouldn't have enough time to talk about it.

Just to weigh in for debates sake, my favorite bullet is a 240gr Fiocchi Extreme 44 magnum. Dent that primer with a 6" Smith and Wesson Model 29-7 and the erruption of combusting powder and extreme gas pressures force controlled chaos onto your target with impunity and a dazzling display of lights and sounds that would persuade even the most augean of us to persue other endeavors.

That said I carry 9x19, 45ACP and .357 magnum on days ending in Y and usually not at the same time. Keep up the fantastic posts!!!  

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.

Good one Peg! Let's keep this going! Maybe the "pundits" will catch on maybe not.
