C'mon man, use the search box.

Or if this was supposed to be funny, I missed it.

Drink some more coffee and lighten up on the nugget.

A simple "STFU, the answer is 45, Numb Nuts" should have sufficed.

Neither. .
They are both girly boy and thug rounds.
Go with .45ACP or 10mm.

I have both and love both. It is more a preference of the brand, size, etc.

To use a quote from the movie Full Metal Jacket.. "I'm a life taker and a heart breaker".

In the case of your pistol it goes like this..."I'm a life taker and a Wrist breaker"...

But seriously... to answer the original post.. why settle for either 9 or 40..?? Why not shoot both..?? I shoot both, and they are both fine handgun calibers, and if we're talking Glock or M&P pistols, get the .40 and buy a conversion barrel and some 9mm magazines and in most cases you're good to go. Just a suggestion.

Basically 9mm. More capacity, less wear on the gun, easier recoil, cheaper, similar ballistic performance. However, a .40 let's you shoot 40, 357 sig, and 9mm with just barrel swaps....so it's got that going for it.
