9vs40

I know super old debate but I’m wondering what you guys think as far as EDC and why

9mm because they come in smaller sizes than pistols in .40

What about bullet comparison as far as self defense?

Technology has come so far that 9mm is performing incredibly well compared to .40

This kind of raised my eyebrows.

Beats me,

With today's ammo, whichever 9 or 40 firearm you carry is personal choice.

I have never been disappointed with a bigger heavier bullet. Having shot several pigs with both 9 and 40, I'm going to say I prefer 40. But take that from a guy whose EDC is a 1911-A1, which also does well on pigs.

The only time I carried a .40 S&W was when the department gave me no other choice.

To this day, I've never liked it. I get old bullet tech with 9mm sucked and the .40 was basically at plus P velocity, but .45 beats it everytime in my opinion. The 4 extra rounds from a P220 to P226 just wasn't worth the squeeze.

I look at pistols as "o'shit guns" and purely defensive just to get me to a long gun.

I've shot shot 9 124+p, full pressure 40sw 155 &180 and 45acp +p 200gr into flesh & bone and they all worked just fine.

good bullets & placement all it takes.
