Fair enough. What if you could only pick one?I carry both at different times. I like them all.
That's another reason. My 17 round clips are legal here, so I can have 35 Speer Gold Dots at the ready if I absolutely HAVE to have them, 124 gr +P. That said, I will probably buy an M&P Shield to help with CC, when funds allow, even though I've had no issues with concealing the full size.I understand about accuracy and that makes sense. The reason this question came up is that I have read quite a few posts of guys saying they want as many rounds as possible when carrying a 9. A 45 has more knock down power but carries less rounds. So, all things being equal as far as accuracy the question comes down to would you rather have capacity or knock down power?

I have learned a lot and changed my own views on things by reading and hearing different opinions. Nothing to solve hear. It's not like I asked how to solve poverty or how to end world peace. Maybe I should have simplified the question. You have two guns on your kitchen table. You shoot both with equal accuracy. One is a .45 with 8 rounds and the other a 9 with 17 rounds. BG comes through your front door. Which gun are you grabbing?Opinions are like rear-ends everyone has one, me included. If you had a show of hands of whom was in a shooting incident in protection of themselves or others you would not witness a lot of hands held high. Its your problem to solve, so solve it.
Handguns do not have "knock down power."
Pick the one you will always carry; can afford to practice with; and that allows you the most accuracy.
