Hello all,
I applied for a Virginia Resident permit to CCW about one month ago. I'm getting ready to purchase a couple weapons to carry & have decided this much:
- for warmer, harder to conceal times of year a Taurus .38sp 5-shot revolver.
- for cooler months I plan to carry either a .45ACP or a 9mm.
I've fallen in love with the feel of HK's USP Compact line & am debating whether to go with the .45 or the 9mm. Obviously the .45 has more stopping power, but a 9mm Hollow Point round at close range is pretty darn good right? (Main question)
The 9mm platform is attractive to me because of the cheap ammo, higher magazine capacities & increased 2nd shot accuracy. Based on those assumptions I'm leaning towards 9mm, but you guys & gals have much more experience than me, so your input is appreciated.
