This season, I got my first whitetail. I shoot a 12g 870 w/slugs. When that deer was in range, my heart was pumping and adreanaline (sp?) going like crazy. I didn't even notice the shot, just saw the deer go down *I spined it* I had a second shell racked just in case *quickest ever*. My ears were not ringing, didn't feel the recoil.
I can only imagine if it was a life/death senario for me. I cannot imagine I would have any less adren. pumping, and I know my 12g is louder than my 9mm. I'm not worried about it.
+ no breathing = no hearing... vs. part hearing but breathing..... easy choice IMO.
I must also admit surprise at the loudness of the 9mm.
