I used to think the .45 ACP was the end all caliber for self defense, but lately I've been looking at the 9mm again. Ballistically, the 9mm +P loads are not that much weaker than the .45 std loads, it just has a smaller diameter.
Between my three favorite semi-auto calibers: 10 mm, 9 mm, and .45 ACP, I'll lean toward the 10 mm of course, but as of now the 9 mm is moving up to second place.
Anyone else feel the .45 is slow, and rather anemic compared to other calibers - 10mm, 9mm, .357 Sig. (I don't include the .40 S&W because personally, I don't like it).
