Capacity Compulsive Disorder (CCD). I think I have that!!!

Additional points to ponder (because I am not too busy today, and bored as heck): "Does a .45 bullet make a bigger hole than two 9mm bullets?; which 'lets the bad out faster'?; what if the .45, with all its 'knock down power' doesn't actually knock the BG down??? What then?

The .45 ACP was perfected in 1905, the 9mm was invented by Georg Luger, and introduced in 1902. Are both of these rounds too old to be effective? They are over 100 years old and probably tired and worn out. Have the millennials come up with something better, more hip, more cynical and 'ironic' (most millennials don't really know what irony is - they just think they do).

Anyway, I'm really rambling and derailing my own thread. I think I'll stop now.

Desire would be to carry a rifle everywhere but that probably isn't so practical.
This! But I live in Florida so M&P Bodyguard 380 pretty much 24/7

I carry a nine in a small pistol when the back's out, or a standard sized one I feel the need for a hi-cap.

Other than that; I carry a .45.

Thumbs up 45!

Personally, I carry a 45. Because I choose to. And as much as I shoot, I doubt I would miss! I target shoot constantly with a 45.
That said, Any gun is better than no gun. I say carry what you want to carry. But... CARRY! Even if it's a .22!
