It doesn't matter what people think. One is objectively somewhat more powerful than another. Whether it makes a difference is another matter altogether, back in the day poachers hunted moose (successfully) by shooting them in the eye with a .22 as an extreme example of "not needing more" -fallacy.That is true but what I find interesting is people think it is[snip]
Personally I go by the principle that it's better to have and not need than the other way around. And everything is a compromise, my Desert Eagle is way beyond my carry comfort threshold, Para 16-40 reamed out to 10mm nicely at it, and the gun that would be just right in my book, LAR Grizzly in .45WinMag, is difficult to find these days.
