I'm a bit more old school than you. I prefer having a now and againhammer, I like good highly-visible sights, and it's nice to have a steel frame on a handgun that's going to see frequent practice. I was first trained with the 1911A1 .45 in 1966, and it has always worked for me, as it did for my dad and grandad, and for my son and grandson.
But I do carry 9mm Parabellum handguns from time to time, mostly WWII German P.38s and later S&W M39s, which fit my hand well. I also often carry TT33 Tokarevs, usually in the original 7,62x25 caliber, but they can be had in 9mmP.
And there is one other 9mm handgun I sometimes bring along as a spare in an ankle rig; most figure they're some other caliber but I have two in 9mm.
