I'm the first to admit that the .45 is not for everyone. Its a hefty cartridge that requires a hefty pistol to use it correctly. And as we used to joke, with a M1911, after you shot the a**hole 7 times, you can always club him to death!!!

9mm is fun to shoot. I own a Glock and I have a lot of fun on the range, but in a situation where my life depends on it, I will depend on my Mark IV, I simply have no faith in the 9mm as a reliable man-stopper. So I'll guess I will stick with what I like.

At least until the 5MW pulse laser rifle comes out!
