I find it interesting that no one considers the 9mm out of a carbine/ rifle a viable deer hunting round but have no problem using the same round out of a pistol for self defense against roughly the same sized critters....humans..

I'm not trying to start a caliber war but I also find it odd the when you mention the .223 at the tactical side of the range and they they think it's da bomb as a round.....when you mention it to a hunter they think of prairie poodles and wood chucks - 5 to 20 pound animals.....
