It is, of course, up to everyone to decide on their own if this advantage is worth the trade-offs. At least they now know what the advantage actually is...

I'll take some popcorn too - light butter and salt, please!
I didn't think you were beating a dead horse, but I anticipated what was coming. No comparison on the .357 , or was there?

No salt and just a little butter on mine.

To the OP, I sure hope this means you won't start, or reply to another 'caliber war' post. I don't care what any of you carry... as long as you carry.

I saw that thread, and it was not a caliber war, in and of itself. It was simply math and science. Keep in mind that 9mm is taken very seriously at Warriortalk, and the guy who started the thread on WT uses 9mm. The facts presented can be used to argue for OR against bullet diameter.
