I've been enjoying lively discussion covering whether or not 40 and 10mm are actually different, and it occurred to me that some of the popular 9mm's might be feeling left out.
Seriously, why are the same arguments used in the 40/10 threads not applied to 9mm? Aren't those arguments valid across the board?
There are 9x19, 9x18, and a 9x17 in popular use all over, but I don't ever hear people saying "380 does the same as 9mm with a 95 grain bullet at 1100 fps"
Why carry a 9mm Parabellum when a 380 is practically the same?
