The people who say that you need at least a 45apc for self defence are crazy, the destructive power of a 9mm is killer class! A serious slug to be shot with. One only has to see the ammount of murders, suicides ect done with 9mm's. Special forces still use 9mm often, as the aiming is more important here, as I belive it's the training that counts not the calibre so much...
Or, as one writer put it, If given the choise between meeting a gun attack with nothing and a .22lr pistol, I would choose the 22 anytime! Also, there are considerations as to where you are going to use the gun, having super extra high powered bullets zinging in the house where there are kids and not so thick walls, perhaps a lighter gun is preferrable??? I know, it's all been said before, just reminding...
Still, for a practical-outdoors calibre, the 10mm is very interesting...
