Making the switch
JT on 9mm v. 11.5MM. Were I to live in a ban state, I’d likely carry 45ACP just because the slight increase in performance of the round and count doesn’t matter.

If a single big hole was better than a couple smaller ones, and every shot made contact every time, we’d all carry .60 cal lead ball muzzle loaders.

Tired topic, but still valid to discuss. As always with a topic like this, it’s the factors not considered which reopens the subject. Take flash-mob violence, for example….

Why switch? Not trying to argue, just asking. A Glock 30, single stack, in 9mm, with a POSITIVE thumb safety, that’s my dream. They should be in vending machines, across the southeast. You had an 11.5. Now the new one is just as good. I know you will hate hearing this, but…
