    Lots of people say they don't like the 9mm for defense and I don't understand why. With modern ammunition, it is at least as effective as the 38 Special which has been pretty much a standard for decades.
    I guess it matters what you are defending against.

    Wish I could still buy them like this. It's one of the reasons the only "fun" cars I have left are old ones. Engines are running big turbos w/ stand alone engine management. But manual everything in the interior is to my liking. Sometimes simple is better.

    I wish vehicles still came with cigarette lighters and ash trays.

    Isn't that the truth. The cartridge has been around longer than the 45acp and has performed longer in Military and Police handgun applications than any other cartridge. Fortunately for those who really need the cartridge the beat goes on.

    Its been months since I bought the book, "How to scam people online". It still has not arrived yet!

    Don't know about that Robert, they are just about neck to neck. Browning's first 45 acp was on 1902 Colt parts. It was a proto-type. That evolved into the 1905 which was a legitimate productioin item in 45 acp. The 9x19 came about in 1902 also. Browning had the 38 Auto (basically 9mm caliber) before the 9x19, but yes I know there were many 9mm's before that even.
