Looks like y'all arn't gonna let this go, so I guess I just have to chime in.
If all you have is a 9mm, then I guess it's a no-brain-er, "dance with who ya brung". IMO that's fine.
If your looking to get double duty out of a round, IMO, marginal, but still sorta OK.
If your looking to "buy one" most all configuration of hand gun, carbine, long gun comes in several calibers, so pick the round for the use intended.
Lots of people don't like recoil, so tend to like smaller calibers, less noise, less punishment.
That still doesn't address the state laws as far as legal, or not for certain game, some people don't care, but the reason for these laws is simply the minium correct tool for the job.
I don't hunt any game, "just to" see if I can hit it at 700yds, or kill a big animal with a mimium round, I have too much respect for all wildlife.
The proper tool for the job.
I don't really agree with the "hey, I have killed _________with a .22, thats all you need" line of thinking.
There, I'm done, carry on.
