Price of a 40 and 45 round is also the same. And they only make 1 beretta in 40 which my friend owns, not feeling it.  I want it to look cute also.

Believe what you want, but first hand accounts from shooting people with a 9mm and shooting people with a .45 say otherwise. Wound channels are completely different between the two, not to mention the energy of the round.

Now a 9mm +P+ round will compare in energy to a basic .45, but that's not an apples to apples comparison.

Don't take that as me advocating for the 9mm as that's not the case. I'm just simply stating that a quality 9mm round with proper shot placement (as that's the real key) should be sufficient. I don't think one caliber is better than another because in the end it all comes down to how well you shoot it.

Gotcha!

I agree that a 9mm is sufficient for defense with the right ammo. My subcompact is a 9 and I don't trust anything smaller.

I also think 9mm is a better target/fun/comp round due to the lower recoil and flatter trajectory.

But given the option in a full size pistol... .45 without a doubt.

All this talk about 9mm.. Going to buy a glock 19 or 17 but not sure. Pretty much only going to be used for pistol class since I don't want to feed my 1911's

Do it!

I'll probably pick up a 9mm comp gun one day. Not sure what though...

[Phil Medeep]

Why aren't you buying American?

[master]

And I liked my old XD45, but the trigger was a bit mushy. Overall a great gun and stupidly reliable.

I personally wouldn't CC a striker fired gun without a safety but that's just me.

I'm an FFL in Orange County with some Glocks in stock for $475. PM if you're interested.

I didn't like mine at first but it's grown on me. The trigger sucks but I enjoy shooting it now.

yeah that 10 day wait thing isnt working for me anymore. but that is a good deal!
You working out of a shop or home?

why people give their money to gun companies that dont give two shits about the civilian market is beyond me. Fuck HK and Beretta!

Why not just fit a 9mm slide/barrel on the 1911 you usually shoot? The grip angle and lack of similar controls isn't going to help with training.

Its going to be cheaper than a new gun, you won't have a ten day wait, you hate Glocks and while somewhat blasphemous (9mm 1911) you can shoot the 1911's more.
