My least favorite caliber, 9 mm, is apparently quite popular with murders. 40 and 45 is my preference as a heavier gun tends to shoot straighter (without the down and left off target tendency during trigger pull).
9mm is still cheap and is the hotbed of projectile development these days. I also prefer .45 personally, among other reasons because the flying ashtray projectiles it throws tend to be subsonic.
Probably and unfortunately going to be going to 9mm for carry in places where while legal the local DA will be a try hard to find something to hang up any self-defense shooter on. Likely a Glock or clone due to inexpensive, commonly available easily and quickly swapped out parts and that’s all I’ll say about that in an open forum. “Unknown Glock 9mm” is the most common ballistic finding these days, after all…
9 mm is an European design.
Practically the only caliber carried by police and military in Europe.
It became popular here with the metric push!
I actually prefer a .38 Super with jacketed hollow points, getting to old to lug the weight of a 1911 and wrists aren’t what they used to be.
