.40 S&W would be ideal....
9mm for supressing fire.
.45 for take em down.

Lets just make a bullet that is 9mm + .40 + .45 and we'll never have to do with the caliber war again
What you are referring to is a "Punt Gun"made to "take out floaks of geese" in one shot
Harold Mayo: Other than the US, ain't nobody won a war in the last two generations. Coincidence?Other than in the US, you really won't find ANYONE using anything but 9mm.
I was wondering which round you guys think is more useful in most situations.Assuming my shot placement is good with either caliber; 9mm in a Mil Spec Beretta is useful, .45 ACP in a Mil Spec 1911A1 is more useful...
Does the greater stopping power of the .45 outweigh the 9mms lower recoil and increased clip capacity?Perceived recoil is a subjective thing for different shooters; If I'm training diligently with a .45, its a non-issue, because you can hold the .45 on target if you have enough reps with it. You always carry extra mag(s) in a combat / defensive situation, so the cap of the .45 is not an issue
IMHO, A Mil Spec 1911A1 .45. would stiil be better defensively, even if the Armed Forces were to trade the 9mm Berettas in for the .40 BerettaOr is a compromise like the .40S&W superior all-around?
