I have been a .44 Mag & .45 Win Mag fan for many years. I live in the Brown Bear Country and always carry one in a cross chest rig while horse packing. My choice the past 2 years is the 10MM. Most everyone it seems is now carrying the 10MM.
The 10MM can deliver over 2 tons of accurate energy in seconds. I have the Rock Island 1911 FS, Ruger SR 1911 and the SIG P-220 Elite Hunter. These are all great with heavy 200 grn hard cast powder coated bullets.
 
9mm... First gun was 9 easy to find cheap and already have a good stash started. Prefer to keep different calibers to a minimum.
 
I train with 9mm
I carry 45 sometimes
I carry 10mm sometimes
I carry 9x25 dillon sometimes.
It depends on what out come I want.
 
Do I want over penetration? Do I not?
Do I need to use my side arm as a primary weapon. Do I need to ingauge targets out at a curtain distant. Do I need to carry high capacity ammo count. Do I need specialty ammo.
 
How do I get threats to make an appointment, time place and environment, so I can pick ahead of time. That's gotta make things easy.

Silly me, I thought the only outcome was to stop the threat
 
.45 is my favorite handgun caliber. Easy round to reload and plenty powerful without beating up the hand.
 
The 116th United States Congress just banned ammo, 9mm and bigger...'IT'S FOR THE SCHOOLCHILDREN!!' was the rallying cry heard across the nation, as the bill became Law of the Land. Anyone possessing the illegal ammo must turn it all in to their local PD within one month or they will be guilty of a Felony and subject to arrest, fines and jail time.

The 9th Court of Appeals ruled no 'infringement' of firearms occurred.
 
Which 9mm? 380. 9x18[ultra], 9x19[lugar], 9x21 [gyura],9x25[mauser or dillon ,or all?
