It is similar to how I feel about .357, there is a time and place for it, and I can hit my target, but when accuracy counts, I want .38.
Nice video, Greg. Some people like .45 handguns due to their higher stopping power. Probably, they are right. Several years ago, I shot my neighbor’s Ruger .45 at a shooting range. It is a good semi-auto, but I did not like its recoil. I cannot say that it was very strong; rather I did not have the practice with .45. But any way, I love lower 9 mm recoil that allows keeping the sights on the target and to make several fast shots. For me it is the best option, especially with hollow point bullets.
