Just change the bullet to a hollow point and the 9mm would do the trick.

Would not trade my M1911 .45 for another gun, period.

Last time I fired an M1911 .45 I couldn't have killed myself with a shot to the temple it was so inaccurate. I'd keep the Beretta, unless they're coming out with an new/accurate .45 design.

Yeah, but the 9mm would still have a problem going through multiple layers of clothing, unless maybe it were a 357Sig cartidge.

Seems to me that a .357 SIG or .40 would be better.
Lighter ammo, higher capacity, and heck of a punch.
Flatter shooting, too.

Your gun must have been a piece of garbage. My Kimber .45 is extremely accurate.

I wouldn't give a dime for one of those 9mm Berettas. I owned one and couldn't hit the side of the barn and they have no stopping power. I'd rather use a 22.

It was a standard issue M1911 .45 out of the armory. Maybe just a bad pistol, but man was I unimpressed, compared to a Beretta 9mm I've fired and hit small targets 25 meters away.

Just change the bullet to a hollow point and the 9mm would do the trick. As I understand it, the Geneva Convention prohibits the use of hollow points.

Glock makes a .45. If they'd add on the stuff the military is asking for, I'd think that would be the gun of choice. Glocks are nearly indestructable unless you decide to run them through a bandsaw or something.

You dont have to be a gun expert to know what gun you would trust in a fight after youve fired a 45 and then a 9mm.
