It makes sense if you are doing it "for the women"... I just read and talk face to face w guys that were THERE on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and they tell me the 9 SUCKS. Not to mention JWP's link above.. 9mm is for girls...
And how did it "suck"?
How did the 9mm stack up against .40s and .45s in side by side comparison?
What was the sample size for each caliber?
What loads were they using? Because if they weren't the loads the FBI considered or what I'll carry, I couldn't give a flip less about somebody's "one time at band camp" stories.
Afghanistan and Iraq were "one time at band camp"? seriously? See JWP's link on US Army tests on the 9 v 45. Pretty convincing. And BTW, it is a fact the FBI originally chose the 10mm that later led to the 40 S&W because of the female issue and recoil, ergo the 40 was an accommodation for the females and since the 9 recoils even less, well penis envy notwithstanding, there you are.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
