Obviously 9mm handguns (of the same configuration) will have a higher capacity, but do they have sufficient stoping power? I've been leaning toward the .40 but a friend of mine is trying to convince me that the current technology in 9mm ammo gives it almost as much stopping power as the .40, plus you get the extra shot.
