Someone saved lives with a gun? Nah. Dianne Sawyer told everyone it can't happen.

Officers found 34-year-old Troy Christoff suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He had been shot with a 9mm handgun.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I'm constantly reading stories about someone getting shot multiple times with a 9mm and living to tell about it.

This is exactly why I prefer the .45 as over the 9.

Hits count........in the 9mm modern bullet designs such as Gold Dots etc get er done just fine !

My 9’s are stoked with 147gr OSM !.......works for the caliber better than most I have used.

Suppose you were raised by protective parents that never let you fight or play contact sports etc ......then suppose you fought with brothers, possibly an abusive parent, contact sports , lots of physical contact and trauma.

Who is gonna go down first regardless of what they were shot with.....?

Hits count, if you can’t hit with a 45 then by all means go Nine on em !!......:o)

Stay safe brother !
