No offense, but I carry H&K USP Compact 9mm, and I love it.
I use hydra shok hollow points in my 9mm. They work very well.
I’m not a woman, nor a femi-gay, but I do have small-ish hands (only a 10” thumb to pinkie span, though).for a 5’11” 230 lb guy.
Either way, 9mm, shot correctly, will perform the take down.
I never said it wouldn’t. I said that’s the reasons why LEOs and others all went through the changes they did. All mine are 9’s, that sunk in the river.
