With modern 9 mm ammo being what it is today I will take my 9mm Glock 17 and a couple of high cap mags.
I have owned many 1911's in .45 ACP and love the firearm and round....but I will take the superior penetration of the higher velocity 9mm and count on expansion and firepower to make up for its lack of diameter.

1911 for me, it always works.

I own both calibers, but tend to lean toward my 1911. well actually its the only one I carry all the time.

I'll have to go with my 9mm ammo is lighter so I can carry more in an emergency. I've got a taurus 24/7 pro with half a dozen 17 rd. mags.

I have to agree with oldsoldier, tha and the fact that there are many more carbines available for the 9 then there are for the .45.

That's a good point, Sarky. I have two carbines in 9mm along with my personal .9mm carry.

I really like the idea of a pistol/carbine combo, it means carrying only one caliber. I have pistol/carbine combos in .22lr, .22mag, .357, 9mm, and .41mag

Probably right about more 9 being available worldwide but I carry a 45 Beretta Cougar and leave the 9s in the cabinet.

But, if you have bigger/harder hitting rounds you don't need the extra ammo.

The amount of ammunition you need all depends on how many targets you have to shoot.

yeah thats true.... But you could always opt for a ten round mag.

I kind of count my ammunition in the hundreds and thousands, not by the magazine capacity.

You've obviously never seen me shoot.
