wow...i just asked which caliber to buy...didnt know that i'd open a can of worms here about drunk drivers, rapists and ak-47's and m-16's

i'll stick with 9mm becuase like mentioned so many times already they're deadly, accurate, cheap and effective. enough for me...not to mention the pistol i'm wanting is in that caliber, length, color combo, and manufacturer i want, unlike the .40 and .45.

I own and sometimes carry a .40.

However I'd go with a 9mm if I'm buying another one. Less recoil and better triggers = easier to hit what you're aiming at. Also, more practice > less.

I'm well practiced with my .40, but fact remains the recoil knocks that thing off very easily, which makes it more time consuming to achieve good accurate shots when I'm at the range. I beat and/or match the accuracy of my friends who have 9mm, but I take longer time to re-aim.

Also, hundreds of rounds of .40 will wear on your biceps :(
