Well, our search button sucks, as 10 mm is not searchable as the words are too small...
Right now I have a 9 mm Kahr MK9 for concealed carry. I love it, but am looking for something with both a bigger round, for certain moments. The thing that really got me thinking was when I was in the projects in Miami at a parade with some friends from the car club, and though "Darn, if something happened, would 9 mm REALLY be enough?" I know, I'm probably reading too many of the caliber wars here on the forum...
So, what I'd like is a mid-size either .45 or 10 mm that I could conceal when need be, but use mostly as a car gun, with my Kahr for 99% of the time concealed carry.
I don't want to hear about ammo prices for either, I've got my 9 mm to waste the ammo money on, and I am fine with spending the money on either .45 or 10 mm to practice with. I can always get into reloading
I also don't want to hear about over-penetration. If I'm shooting, I'm shooting. Most anything is going to over penetrate anyways, so let's call it a moot point.
So, the basic question is, 10 mm or .45 ACP for self-defense?
I'm not set on any specific guns yet, although I was eye-balling the new M&P .45. To me, the less safeties the better (don't prefer Glocks, but we'll see...), but as long as it doesn't have that grip safety crap (personal preference) and isn't a 1911 (again, personal preference), I'm down for it.
I know I know, get whichever you shoot best, but I'd like to hear other peoples opinions, and possibly recommendations.
Is there a firearm that allows me to change barrels to shoot both? That'd be the deal breaker...
I'm itching for a new gun here, help a brother out!
