[/qb][/QUOTE]Good. That means less money I have to waste on bullets when I can shoot two robbers at once. [/qb][/QUOTE]or your wife or child in the other room or the neighbors next door. A 9mm will take anyone you need out. Being shot is stopping power enough. [/qb][/QUOTE]Whoever told you that is full of shit. The average JHP 9mm round is around a 114 grain bullet. The average 9mm muzzle velocity is between 1,300 and 1,500fps. Take into consideration that the standard US ball ammunition for a .45ACP is in the ballpark of 900 to 1,000fps with a 200 to 230 grain bullet. Thus is why I sleep with dual 1911's. A 9mm is far more likely to penetrate an organic target (I.E. human flesh & bone) then a .45ACP round which was designed to "stop a man where he stood". I just don't believe in being one to leaving shit to chance so I bought at least one handgun for all of the popular calibers (I.E. .38 Special, 357 Mag, 9mm, 44 Mag, 5.7mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig, .45ACP, .22LR & 10mm). Glocks are excellent weapons. They are simple and very effective. However if you are a novice shooter and handler of handguns I would definately recommend a Springfield XD series weapon. If that doesn't strike your fancy look into a Sig Sauer P226 in .40S&W or .357Sig. Sig Sauer builds the world's most reliable handgun and it is incredibly simple to use and care for. It does have a hefty price tag though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
