FQ13

Especially about GLOCKS!!!!!!

Only to trade up to the 30. Even then, it will take a lot of research before I do. I love that 26, and never really paid that much attention to the 9mm vs .45 debate, figuring that lots of folks who deal with this stuff for a living have chosen both. My question is whether at bad breath distance, I'll get that much more bang for the buck to trade mine in (along with my 19 for a full sized .45 as I want both in the same caliber with interchangeable mags) and pay the extra dollrs in moving from used to new. Frankly, I doubt it, but I will be researching the issue. However, 9mm or .45, it will be a Glock subcompact on my belt and a full sized Gock on the night stand.

Stick with what you have. .45 ammo is more expensive and you will take a loss on the trade . Also, the extra number of rounds will make up for the difference in bullet initial diameter.
With the 9MM you can get 33 round mags that will fit both guns, they do not offer that for the .45 , besides, there is only one TRUE ".45" and that is the 1911

Thats why I bought 9mm to begin with. The question is just stopping power. If Glock made a subcompact in say 10mm, I might think about it, but even then ammo cost and availabilty are good reasons not to. The difference between .45 and 9mm is marginal. I just feel I owe it to myself to really understand how big that margin is. Too bad I broke up with the trauma surgeon. She would be useful for this (and other things).

There is no such thing as " stopping power" even a .500 S&W can not guarantee a one shot stop, Heck, there are stories of Asians being hit repeatedly with .50 cal and not stopping, they may have been knocked down, but they kept coming.
Keep the higher round count and shoot till they stop making you need to shoot them (whether it's by falling or running).
With a 33 round spare mag arms and legs will be coming off and your trigger finger will get tired before you run out of ammo. Also, if that doesn't get the job done then you should have brought help or got more practice.

Swap out the barrel (if possible) and go with .357 Sig.  Pretty hot little round and energy is way past the 9mm...

Who said...."You don't shoot until YOU think their dead!  You keep shooting until THEY think their dead!"

[tombogan03884]

 I don't know who said it but if it was more widely known horror movies would be a lot shorter.
