  @muffythetuffy “A 9mm is not worth using. He hit both killers and they did not stay down. You have to use a heavy caliber bullet to do real damage so they do not get up. What did George Zimmerman use?”
  Zimmerman used a Kel-tec 9mm. You were saying…?
  People make way too much out of caliber. Is there a difference? Sure, but it would be unwise to make your personal defense firearm selection solely off of caliber. People hear stories of perps being shot multiple times with 9mm and make the assumption that the 9mm is weak and can’t kill a man. Of course there are also real life instances (not as many of course) of men being shot multiple times with a .45 and surviving, that doesn’t make the .45 weak though it just shows that shot placement (being accurate with your firearm) is at least as important if not more so than caliber. If you want to shoot .45 go for it, if you prefer 9mm, 38 spec, etc then carry that. And don’t forget that you have the option of using a wide range of expanding self defense rounds that can more than make up for smaller diameter. Just don’t get pulled into the .45 cal or nothing hype, after all if caliber was all that mattered then we should all be carrying desert eagles.
