OK so I have decided to get a new M&P and take advantage of S&W's rebate.
for various reasons, even though I would be naturally more inclined to buy the .40cal variant, it makes a lot more sense to me to buy the 9mm.
can anybody point me in the direction of real stats on either real life stopping power, or other relevant and objective testing done. I tried to look up marshal and sanow's test, but couldn't seem to find it.
I did look at brass fetcher. doesn't seem to be THAT much of a difference in terms of penetration and expansion.
I DON'T want this to turn into a caliber war. I'm not asking which one is better for all purposes, but merely if .40 cal is a significant enough step up in performance that it is worth the logistics issues that it would create for me to buy a .40cal weapon.
