"Take down" power Remember a .40 is only ONEmm larger in diameter (uses a 10mm bullet) than a 9mm. You think if you shoot a guy with a 9mm he will keep running thinking, "whew if that was ONEmm larger I would of been screwed" You get 18rds of ammo in a G17. Not to mention the disadvantage of follow-up shots from the .40 because of its snappy recoil.
But to save the sake of beating a dead horse, we all have personal preferences so guys looking into different calibers, choose what makes you happy. But what ever you get, be trained and proficient with it. A small hit is better than a big miss.
9mm are for pussies, I can fire off 7 quick shots out my .45 and hit target atleast 3 of them, one is all you need though
I thought we were talking about .40 vs .45?
Why are you throwing 9mm into everything?
I also own other sizes.James is a glock whore, and he own a .40, so get used to his point of view being correct....
40 cal or 45 cal? Whats the benefit/differences?

ya ok if we are going to go with the whole police thing, lets be honest, yes the 9 is easier to shoot than a .45 or a .40 because there are so many ya hoo's that can shoot the braud side of a barn so they need a easier round to shoot with, so they actually might hit something! and yes la sheriff still issue 9mm but if you look at the really bad a$$ like swat they carry a .45, i have a .9 .45 .40 and i dont like the .40 oohh ya p.s its a glock!!
Most ranges will have guns to rent.Well, I have read everything there is to read about handguns and whatnot. Basically I'm wasting my time.
The point is, I need to get out there and TRY all of them to make an educated decision about guns.
I have my saftey courses and all that done... But I don't want to waste $500-$600 on a gun I will end up not liking.
Looking for a range somewhere close that has a gun shop attached. So I can give a few of them a try.
Or a friend that has a few that wants to let me check them out...
