What's the difference betwixt 9x23 and .38 Super? And what pistol do you shoot 9x23 in?

.38 super has more case capacity which equals more velocity.

Hmmm, not so fast there! 9X23 case is .900" long. 38 Super is .895" long. 9X23 actually has a bit more capacity, but for all practical purposes they are identical in capacity. Super is semi rimmed, and 9X23 is rimless. This allows a 9X23 an extra 2 rounds in a 170mm length mag.

Also The case webbing of the 9-23 is much beefier than the super And can handle more pressures.

If I could get a mag fed lever gun like a Marlin in 9x25 Dillon or 9x23 I don’t even know if I’d need any other rifles other than an AR or two. 10mm would work too.

Ok, so let's see what we have learned here...

First and foremost, I can't afford the 10mm world.
Secondly, the weapon(s) and related gear is heavy.
And lastly, 10mm is probably "overkill" and would not be publicly accepted by the liberals who basically dominate the population here at the college campus where I provide law and order. Hell, they would probably all be happy if we were unarmed altogether.

I actually had a staff member make a comment to me at a basketball game, when she noticed that I was heeled.

She said, "OMIGOD! You're carrying a gun!"
I replied, "yes ma'am, I am."
She said, "why? Are you expecting trouble?"
I answered back, "if I was expecting trouble, I'd have my shotgun slung over my shoulder. "

The look she gave me was PRICELESS!

OSA, I hear you loud and clear. So in conclusion, I guess I'll just stick to 9mm or maybe .45ACP for duty use. Thank you to everyone who provided comments and suggestions/information on this thread, and helping me with my decision.

Clearly the answer is to create an 11mm. It has to be better, it goes to 11. I’d suggest naming it spinal tap.
