I'm looking to buy a new carry gun. Smaller and lighter than what I have now.
30+ year ago I knew a man that was shot 3 times with a .38 and beat the crap out of the guy that shot him, The following week, I traded my 9mm toward a 10mm, and my .38 toward a 44 special.
I was thinking about getting a .40, But 9mm would be cheaper to shoot and of the guns I'm looking at, the one I like the most only comes in 9mm.
So the question is: Is 9mm defensive ammo much better than it was 30 years ago?
