I have a safe full of guns incl. several 45 caliber pistols like a Glock 30SF, HK USP 45 Tactical and others. And a bunch of 9mm like a SIG 226, Glock 19 etc.
I do action pistol shooting at several ranges and have come to the conclusion that as great the 45 caliber round is in theory, actually hitting a target with it is MUCH harder that with 9mm round. Especially when moving about. And I am trying to compare apples with apples, ie. using either polymer guns or all metal guns for both calibers, DA vs DA, etc. Action pistol shooting is as close to real world gun fight scenarios that most of us will get to (thank god) and the 45 just does not cut it (for me at least) accuracy wise. What good does that big piece of honkin lead do if its inches off target compared to a 9???? I happened to talk to Louis Awerbuck about this a few days ago (don't know who he is? Google the name) and he actually had the same opinion....!
