That will put all the “It better start with a 4” crowd’s panties in a knot.
LOL!
I still favor 1911s but lately am infatuated with a couple of 4" Smith police revolvers.
I think with quality HPs, you don’t sacrifice much with a 9, but you get a slimmer grip in either a single or double stack compared to a .45. Not all guns, but most. In .40, it’s usually the same grip etc as a 9mm, but the main reason is I want anybody in my family to be able to pick up my 9s and shoot them without fearing them. I don’t want any house or road guns that are only for dad to shoot. They can all shoot a 9 effectively, but the “4s” intimidate them. Plus, ammo is usually (not lately) cheap and easy to find.
