See, that's where you can start to go crazy rationalizing what to carry. If you can double-tap a 9mm or .380 comfortably but not a .45, does that make up for the single-hit difference between the smaller rounds and the flying ashtray?



Good point. ANY handgun is lethal as long as you take the time to practice and become accurate with it. I have a .45, 9mm, .380, .357 handguns and while I do prefer the knockdown power of the .45 I know I can readily defend myself with any of them if needbe. It's all about what the particular user is comfortable and confident with using.
