115 gr VS 230 gr

My 45 ACP's always seem to hit targets with more accuracy, ranging from 25 yrds to 50 yrds, than any of my 9mms have. Could just be me, but I doubt it. I much prefer the 45. The 9's do well at 7-10 though..

You mean, at "7-10" feet? ... Well, that's also the effective range of your average shotgun, which ain't sayin' much.

But at first I thought you meant 9mms "do well at 7-11s," which they might or might not, depending on if the store's night clerk is cc-ing a .45 and happens to be quicker on the draw.

One would infer from the context of the post that he meant 7-10 yards (since 25-50 yards was referenced) and I agree, I seem to shoot my .45s better out past 20 yards than my 9mms. At first I thought it was platform (1911) then I realized I also shoot my Glock 21 better than my 17 at 25 yards. So who knows.

I can point shoot anything under 15 yards anyhow, which is all I need for CCW, I ain't gonna hunt with any of my 9mms.
