The standard. Seventeen 9mm rounds are better than eight .45.

Like .45 ACP, but scaled down for women, children, and 4' 6" 90 lb female police officers.

A "C" student.

It's a standard, but like most one-size-fits-all compromises it's performance is pretty average in everything but magazine capacity.

It excels at being middle of the road, which, I guess isn't always a bad thing.

Perfectly fine for the rest of the world's military handguns for a century, but somehow too small for Americans

9mm Is a lot better than it was 20 year ago!

After they started building better bullets, I got a couple of them but still have my 40s and 45s. i would feel good about letting my wife carry a 9. I think the 40 and 45 are too much for a person that does not shoot a lot.
