I know you didn't want to get into a caliber war and I respect that. However, you have two pistols in .45 acp. As others have mentioned, there are some excellent loads for self-defense in 9mm. As far as FMJ goes (for practice), I am seeing price differences of $9 to $12 per box of 50 between 9 mm and .45 acp.

I love my .45s and it is what I mostly carry in the winter. However, I have never felt under-gunned when carrying one of my 9 mm pistols.
