I've owned two 9mms and never really was all that hot on the caliber until I learned to know and love the Nine for the great shooter that it is. I've primarily leaned toward .38/.357 and .45 ACP calibers, but enjoy shooting the 9mm and like the soft recoil and accuracy.
I owned a P-38 for a while (circa 1942) but traded it in on a Colt .45 ACP, then realized that I really enjoyed shooting 9mm, but prefered something a little less "Nazi." Then a few months ago, I found a really cool Sig P-226 and bought it (it was used-ex LE gun) and it's definitely a keeper. Right now 9mm is about the cheapest centerfire ammo out there, but things are going to change after Christmas according to my local gunshop guy. So I ordered a set of dies--I like the 9mm so much now, and shoot the SIG so much, I will reload for it. Maybe work up some accurate lead target loads for practicing and JHP for serious stuff.
Here's a picture of my new-to-me favorite gun, his name is Siggie.
