I could deal with the .40 but I'm not fond of the 9mm. I tend to lean toward bigger.

Here ya go Stovepipe check this out.

Hmmm!!! 9 vs. 45 another 10 pages of post can easily be in the future with that argument!!!

Pumpkin, I carry either a .40 cal or a .45 ACP.
I’ve often heard guys say the 40 is a great compromise, I for one don’t understand that, the 40 is a great round period.

My wrists hurt from just watching that !!!

There ya go again. Bad mouthin' the 9mmX19. A perfectly good self defense round. It is no longer the venerable(?) Parabellum of long past. They have gone a long way in developing bullets that have vastly improved it's hitting performence.

When I carry my Firestar M43 it's loaded with Hornady 124 grain XTP/HP.

Personally I really prefer carrying my S&W Mod 19 Combat Magnum 2 1/2". But alas. The Kimber UCC II (.45 ACP) hides better in the summer...

By The Way...That video doesn't show that 45-70 with any more recoil than my Colt SAA...Must have down loaded it a bit...

What do ya have a case of limp wrist????

My daughter shoots the mangun

Aah...I have to ask this. It's just burnin' in my gut. How big is your daughter?

She's 17 about 5'6" 180ish. Shhh don't tell her I told!!!!

Now who’s trying to stir the pot ???

Just for the record.................I’ve shot the BFR’s in 450 Marlin and some snub nose .44mags with the hot stuff..........And the next time a friend brings his S&W 500 to the range I’m shooting it.
(I have to pay for the ammo on that one)

I have four sons (40, 38, 36 and 34). And one daughter (37). She's about the same as your daughter except 5' 4". The boys don't like the recoil of my Colt SAA but she likes it loaded hot and heavy...So I can relate...

By The Way...The boys are all over 6'.

So you're saying there's a reason for the limp wrist??

The BFR doesn't hurt......much. My sons .450 cause some discomfort in the hands immediately following pulling the trigger.

My daughter will shoot almost anything but my boy is addicted to recoil I think.

That Hawg 9.........Well...........it’s a 9mm !!! Gonna carry a 1911 carry a real 1911 !!!

It's a micro-compact, hi-cap CCW on a SA 1911 type platform.

It also shoots +P, same ME as a .45 ACP, well, per the SAAMI sheet anyways.

In Ca we can get them in 10rd cap. Ever carry a 10rd Gov model?

I'd take this lil Hawg in a second over any DA hi-cap or a Gov model for CCW/Instructor use. It's dinky w/ a fat grip and flat rips. Do some reading on it and you may be pleasantly suprised!

I have a decent vintage 1911 Gov model in my sights right now and for the same price I can get more bang for less bucks with the Para. IF I can get one that is.... jeez this political climate.

This aint yer father's 9mm.

Meh, who'm I kidding.

I'm getting the Gov't model...

I waffled. So sue me!

Just so we're on the same page............. ME is energy correct ???
