I prefer a 40. But anything carried beats a rock or wishing

Well like I said earlier. I always have a 9mm on me. My only studies have been on a few different beef cattle skulls. From this information I have. I feel more than safe, if the unwanted should ever arise. With that being said, I hope it never does. But you never know in this old world anymore. The most important thing is. 1st, know the gun you carry inside and out. 2nd, practice with it. 3rd, carry it. You might only need it once in a lifetime. And you probably won't have time to go home and get it.

Opinions on calibers will always vary. Most important is one you are comfortable with, and practice, practice, practice. A.22 mag in the throat is better than a miss with a .44 magnum.
That said, I carry a 9mm Glock, or a Beretta .32 ,depending on what I am wearing.
In the woods, my trusty old .357.
I wonder why there isn't any panic buying yet with the prospect of a Hillary presidency?
I have been picking up a little ammo here and there. I have plenty of guns (and a wish list too) but I could see another ammo shortage coming. If I get any more 9mm I will have to add on a prom

That's a heckuva story. Glad he was able to keep his composure and take down the bear without hitting the clients since it was all in such close quarters.

I should have saved the Youtube link of the guy shooting 9mm through multiple Carhart jackets and getting decent penetration into the block. Some have wondered if the "hits" were actually ricochets. Doubt we will ever know what happened.

Doubt we will ever know what happened. I ran across an article about that but I didn't read it all. People were theorizing the 9mm bounced off something else before it bounced off the Carheart jacket. Seems like some police official said no on it and they were investigating the ammo. They'll keep looking until it's forgotten or they find any kind of weasel excuse that it couldn't possibly be a mistake on the part of the "decider" level management. Does it really make any difference if they MISSED and it bounced around a little with no penetration? I thought the whole point to the 9mm was to be more accurate?
