.....'cept for the guy high on Meth or some other substance that makes them superhuman!But, I also agree that the difference between .45 and 9mm is a trade off.
.45 better stopping power but usually less rounds available.
9mm slightly less stopping power but usually more rounds available.
But.......it is not my intention to turn this into a .45/9mm discussion (we have many of those). I'm just trying to say that generally I agree with the original post and do in fact carry either a .45 or a 9mm (sometimes .357mag) and never feel unprepared.
