I love 9mm pistols, mainly because I enjoy shooting several pistols that aren't made in any other caliber.
There is not one of my eight 9mm pistols (from a Broomhandle C96 Mauser and P08 Luger to a 92F and XDM) that I shoot faster or more acurate than my Norinco 1911 in .45 ACP. The tuned trigger and smooth action of my Norinco 1911 trumps the lighter recoil of a 9mm. I think I shoot my P38 the best of all my 9mm's with my Beretta 92 being a close second. The light barrel and slide on the P38 makes for a faster pointing pistol for me... mag changes with the butt mount mag release on the P38 makes changing the 8 round mags very slow though.
I don't shoot .40's, I don't like .40's! .40 brass is too hard to seperate from my 9mm and .45 brass and the stupid 40's always jamb my Dillon press.
I have been keeping an eye out for an affordable double stack 9mm 1911/2011 with the belief that I will be able to shoot faster and more accurate than with .45acp 1911's.
