The 9mm Sig P6, loaded with 147gr hollow points is of course the very best weapon anyone could possibly carry.

OK, I just wanted to get that in before my .45ACP friends arrived.

"The 9mm Sig P6, loaded with 147gr hollow points is of course the very best weapon anyone could possibly carry."

Wrong! Why would anyone use heavy bullets in the 9mm Luger cartridge, making it behave more like a 38 Special? The optimum 9mm Luger loading is the SPEER +P version using 124 grain Gold Dot bullets. In addition, almost any 40 S&W loading is terminal performance superior to the 9mm Luger cartridges.Why do you thing that most law enforcement agencies (including the FBI) have upgraded from 9mm Luger to 40 S&W?

"OK, I just wanted to get that in before my .45ACP friends arrived." Anyone still using that obsolete cartridge designation is too out of date to bring anything meaningful to the conversation. Read the headstamp, stupid!

I carried a semi auto .22 lr for years as my personal defense weapon. As my eyes have gotten weaker, I tried moving up to a Glock 23. Shooting the .40 was not as ‘comfortable’ as I expected, so I ordered a Glock 19 barrel and now carry the 23 as a 19 with veridian laser. I agree on the 147 gr bullet though ...
