When I was in the USMC - in 1984, my Helicopter Squadron was the "Guniea Pig" for the Air Wing. We got most things first, and tested them out. Our guys had been hollering for new sidearms for a few years, so the Brass finally relented. We got new ones alright, nice shiny new Baretta 9MM.... it was SUPPOSED to be 6 MONTH test. After 6 WEEKS, we all wanted our real weapons back. Unfortunately, the old ones (some of which, I SWEAR, were MADE in 1911....LOL) were GONE. We ended up getting NEW Colt .45's.
A 9mm LOOKS nice, but is pretty much worthless in a pinch. A 9mm is High velocity, LOW impact, a .45 is low velocity, HIGH impact.
Sure, a 9mm has a bit longer reach, but it won't do you any good, if it doesn't take care of your target. You can shoot a guy 7-8 times with a 9mm, and he doesn't know he's dead, with a .45, you hit him in his HAND, and he's going down.
I carry a 1911 .45 most times, and a little 25 Auto for grins. My wife has a small .45 auto with her, and has her .44 Mag handy at home.
