Gun S H O W

Hollow points do a lot of damage even in a 9mm. Besides I got a XD Springgield in 40 . I really like the feel of the grip on the XD.

My XD will get a trigger job and will be used for home defense. I'm still looking at a XDM sub-compact or a M&P compact for carry. The XD model I picked up new for 422.00 came in a kit and when I took it to the range I fired 50 rounds through it. Shoots better than I can hold it. Took a target and put it out to 15 yards and put 20 rounds all in the black. With a trigger job I'll put em all in the 10 and 10X ring. Good enough for me.
Me and Maddog are gonna go shooting as soon as he gets his colt back from the gunsmith.

I hear the same BS about caliber all the time.

If you are LEO and deal with the dregs in the worst part of town
and they wear body armor then you need a penetrating round a
357Sig round with 1700 fps uses a 9mm bullet in a 40 cartridge necked
down and will go through two car doors, the people inside, and come out the other
side.

45 does good but it's a slower round, bigger hit,
but you are limited in capacity.

My XDm has 19+1 it's about accuracy and quantity.

A 22 magnum will make a heck of a hole and kill the target
just as much.

Thing is 90% of first 5 rounds miss, doesn't matter your
range ability, when the stress hits and you have to get cover
and put down suppression fire you need capacity.

It's different if the target is shooting back..

If there shooting back then that means you missed, better hit em the first time. Keep a clear head and make first shot count. 9mm hollow point will get there faster and open em up. When there reloading time to move in with the 9mm and finish them off.

Yep make the first one count , then go get a cold beer

9mm Luger Ammo Testing & Ballistics
Even though the recoil of the 9mm Luger is much less than the 40 S&W or 45 ACP, you will be surprised at the results on the business end. You will now understand why the 9mm Luger was adopted by NATO, the U.S. Military, and close to a million police officers worldwide. The 9mm Luger has 35% more muzzle energy than the 38 special, 10% more muzzle energy than the 44 special, and rivals the energy of hot 45 ACP loadings. For longer distances, the 9mm Luger is flatter shooting than the 40 S&W or 45 ACP. The 9mm is no sissy cartridge.
Since the lessons learned at the Miami shootout fiasco, the FBI performance requirements for an ideal cartridge must have bullet expansion of .50" (1/2 inch) or more, and at least 12 inches of penetration in bare and clothed ballistic gelatin. Bullet penetration should not exceed 18 inches depth. 12 to 15 inches is considered the ideal range.

The 9mm Luger meets these requirements with quality ammunition just as good as the .40 S&W and 45 ACP. The FBI 9mm test don't lie! Any brand of premium 9mm 124gr or 147gr JHP has the stopping power do the job!
Your Captian, Chief, or sheriff may be old school and remember some of the 9mm pistols from 20 years ago that were cheap made or very heavy. He may also remember the crappy 9mm ammo from 20 years ago too. This is why so many officers are required to carry lower capacity 40 S&W or 45 ACP pistols, even though you may run out of ammo in a gunfight. The FBI has tested todays 9mm ammo and it has proven to be just as terminal as 40 S&W or 45 ACP. Cops carry 9mm pistols In Europe, Russia, Japan, China, Korea, India, and the middle east.
