I've had my trusty Springfield XD45 with a Streamlight TLR-1 for years. I've never really had another gun in my collection that I've considered taking that duty over.
However I just ordered a CZ P-09. I am starting to think I'd rather have that by my side, considering its 20 round capacity. But then I go back to, well 14 rounds of .45 is pretty good, so I don't know.
I am wondering the real world ballistic difference between the two calibers given good modern self defense ammunition. Is it better to have more power or more magazine capacity (given potential miss %).
This is a dangerous question as I don't want to turn this into a 9mm vs. .45 thread.
Thanks for any thoughts.
