Again, I'll revert to what I said a few posts above. Stopping power does no good if it doesnt hit its target. At 2 am, you're still sleepy, uncoordinated, and adreneline is coarsing through your veins. That .40 or .45 is going to be a lot harder to control since it has more kick and nore weight.
To get a good feeling of what this is like, next time you go shooting, set up a target about 5 yards away, and turn around so you're facing away from it. Place your weapon on the ground and do 10-15 pushups as fast as you can, then get up, turn around, and squeeze off 2 rounds. I guarantee your "hit" percentage will be higher with a 9mm, than with .40 or .45. if repeated.

What you're saying is skill not caliber,if i had one shot to shoot i want more punch to my shot.
I shot many guns and the kick isnt much difference to make me miss if you're experienced.

I dont understand that logic, because many people use a certain gun means you dont like it anymore, if anything you should want it more because its been proven a fine pistol and deemed fit for law enforcement.

because nothing you say will convince me owning a glock is anything more than a fashion statement ;) and you are more the sheep type who follows the crowd when it comes to it and im more the herder who leads you ;D
