Well, the reason for my question is your reference to the "flat shooting" Beretta. And since everyone is explaining the obvious, I was curious how you have established that the 9mm shoots so flat and the .45 drops so much. I still am. How did this realization come about? That's not a smart a$$ question. I wonder how it all started.[/quote]

The reason i considered the 9mm to be shooting flatter at 25yds is the fact i was aiming right onto the center of the target at 25yds and hitting it. I have to aim my 45 higher at 25yds to hit the same area.
