    Bought my first real hand gun in .40 after shooting a friends and shot it very well. Had I shot more .45 before that I would have bought that. Now I got an Fns in .40 because they don't offer it in .45 and love the way it shoots. I don't really get much enjoyment out of 9mm but I do have 9mm makarov if I need it.

    All handguns are weak. They don't crush enough tissue to be anything more than a last ditch weapon.

    A handgun is a weapon you use to fight your way to a rifle. The FBI got one thing right, penetration to vital organs and shot placement are paramount in incapacitation with the advantage always going to the round that makes the larges hole.

    I shoot both the 9mm and .45

    I would carry both if that were an option in Maryland but my preference will always be for the .45

    I have not looked at all pages of the thread, however if you look at the poll it is showing all Screen names and what type of gun.
    Maybe I have become a little ( lot) paranoid but I don't think i want my Gun info on display.
    If this was on the WC maybe I would think differently.

    Seriously, this poll is full of fail.

    As if I only use one caliber....

    The correct answer is, "all of the above". It all depends on location, situation, wind sheer, which shoes I'm wearing, barometric pressure, phase of the moon, what I had for breakfast, time of month...
