I know this is pretty subjective but here goes....
I've always been a 45acp/357mag/380acp guy. But lately I've been thinking about something more easier to carry. I like the mid range of power (357) but would like more bullets. The GP100 is heavy and the S&W 37-2's 8+" barrel is pretty hard to hide and I always feel like the Joker shooting down Batman when I pull it out.
So (God have mercy) I've been considering a 9mm or a 40 instead of a 45. (I can't believe I'm saying this).
Question 1: How much power difference is there between 9 & 40? Enough to worry about?
Question 2: What's the difference in shooting a 40 vs. 9? I've heard the 40 is not as sharp.
Question 3: How much *more* power is there in 9mm vs. 9mm short? I have a P230 (380ACP) which is an easy carry but I don't have faith in the 380 power, not that I'm overwhelmed with 9mm.
Ramble on, dudes!
