Do some of you think about your kidneys working while you take a piss???
Seems a lot of people would be better off spending time getting more proficient with their sidearm than arguing/trying to defend its merits.
I 'prefer' the .45....when I want to carry my 30s. (Or 41)
I 'prefer' the 9mm....when I'm in the mood for my 19 or 26.
When I'm deciding what to carry that day it comes down to my mood. That's it. Period.
Whatever I'm carrying, I'm not walking around (or standing around in indecision) thinking about 'stopping power', mag capacity, or wondering where I can get reliable GSW trauma statistics.
For schits sake, find a gun you like the feel of, actually practice to become proficient with said firearm, stoke it with high quality SD ammo (easy to do nowadays) practice situational awareness (your best defense) and find something more constructive to argue about....like the gayness of all things .277".
