POTENTIAL CALIBER WAR OH NO
Yes, I know this isn't the most original question in the world. If this kind of thing bugs you just move on.
The similarly-named thread a few lines down made me want to ask this question. Has anyone gone from preferring .45 to 9mm? I'm seriously considering trading my XD45 for a 9mm M&P. I've only had .45s before and never really gave 9mm a chance until I got a pocket 9 for CCW. I'm so enamored with the thing that now I'm looking at getting a full-size 9 for plinking/home defense/backpacking open carry, in that order. The high capacity and low cost of ammo are both very tempting and I'm starting to think the bullet size between the two just isn't enough to make much of a difference in terms of a defense situation. This is more of a talk-me-down-or-talk-me-into-it thread, basically. If you've made a similar switch, please tell me why you did it.
(Also if anyone owns both an XD45 and an M&P9 I would love to hear what you think)
