Have you actually fired any of these weapons?
Please don’t mind my asking, but are you a man or a woman? What size are you? What shape are you in? Athletic, sedentary, etc.
In other words are you capable of shooting a .45 and do you think it’s necessary? Do you think a .9mm can’t stop the average perp? Are you being stalked by The Hulk, Superman or Rambo?
I believe that most gunfights are within 15 feet and over in a few seconds.
Go to a range that rents guns and try out different ones and find one that you’re comfortable with.
I don’t know if you need to worry about “stopping power” Most criminals will flee upon just seeing a gun. Read John Lott’s book, “More Guns, Less Crime”. Most criminals will flee if they see ANY gun pointed at them. Most perps leave without the gun being fired. Fewer are actually shot, fewer still actually killed.
Guns are a deterant to most criminals. I hope you never have to shoot anyone.
I wouldn’t even want to be shot with a .22, .25, .32, .38, .357, .9mm, .40 much less a .45. Point a .22 at me and I’ll leave the premises.
Are you being stalked by Godzilla?
Auto loading pistols use magazines, not “clips”.
“Point a .22 at me and I’ll leave the premises.”
I read a stat somewhere (may have been from John Lott’s book) that more people are killed by .22 than all other calibers combined.
The “9mm isn’t a large enough caliber” is simply a myth.
LOL,Gary. I love your post. Who is this mutha? ;-)

A drug-induced maniac will kill you if you shoot him with a .22. He will bleed to death in a few hours, but will have enough time to do his number on you in the mean time. You need to have something that will blow a nice-sized hole in him.

As will any normal, sane individual who has no great compelling reason to risk his life. The little .22 rimfire has filled many a coffin and the ammunition available today makes it far deadlier than it used to be. I have killed many an animal with a .22 and I certainly don’t want to be shot with one.
