Folks:
Okay, I'm a long-time .45, .357, .44 and .40 guy...never had much use for the 9mm and will STILL keep my XDM .40 as my home defense gun (with Ranger ammo)...BUT I recently got my CCW and have been thinking through weapons. Was planning on carrying a 4" SS Champion (shoots straight as anything) but it's kind of heavy, so I rented the G19 and G23 today. Years ago I owned a G22 but traded it in for another weapon.
So, long story short, I shot the G23 just fine today, but the G19 was like magic. Very fast follow up shots, VERY accurate rapid fire, and while I don't mind the G23's recoil, the 9 is noticeably less and seems quicker for follow up. I'm sure with training the G23 would be equally great, but seeing as how I don't yet have a 9mm, AND thinking I might want to have one since ammo is readily available, I'm probably gonna pick one up.
That said, I'm feeling a bit guilty about liking the 9mm...is there some place here on THR I can go for absolution?
Have a good night all!
