Will a 9m get it done for home protection just as well as a 40cal

Haha! Thanks for the laugh.

JJ why don't you volunteer to be shot with one round of 9mm +p Double Tap and then one round of .40 S&W. Then let us all know which one "hurt" more.....

9mm with double tap ammo blows away any 40 caliber in fps and ft-lbs...you still have to hit what you shoot though.

What difference does it really make if you hit the BG in the right spot? I mean...really?

Agreed.

As far as handguns are concerned, i have a 9mm on my nightstand, but my 7.62x39 isn't far away either.

 

[twoguns?]

Short answer...either is fine if you can shoot it well. For me, I carry handguns as home defense tools to use until I can get to my shotgun/rifles.

This..
.and dont forget to yell..."Dood its a hallo point, itll blow yer brains out"...just learn to shoot it well

I would say it depends on what you mean by 'get it done'. To me the .40 is superior in power and therefore it's ability to inflict more damage to whatever you shoot.

I have this mounted on my roof. Keeps most everyone away 'cept for the dumb ones.

9mm ftw,plus practice ammo is inexpensive so you will shoot more often.

I don't have any 40s anymore. 9mm is just fine for me, cheaper and more fun to shoot.
