Isnt it time we ditched the whole caliber debate and focused on shot placement and training instead? Lets stop obsessing over minor differences and prioritize skill development for better results in self-defense scenarios.

Rubber bullets may be less lethal, but they can still cause serious harm. Lets focus on gun safety and training instead of swapping out calibers.

How can we overlook the historical significance of the .45 caliber in the 1911 when comparing it to the 9mm? The nostalgia and stopping power of the .45 should not be underestimated.

Seems like everyones caught up in the 9mm vs .45 caliber debate. But why not throw a curveball and consider the .40 S&W? Its like the middle child no one talks about, but hey, it has its own pros and cons too!

Can we really trust a comparison of 9mm and .45 caliber from 1911? Times have changed and technology has advanced. Maybe its time for a modern analysis to see if the pros and cons still hold up.

The fundamentals of ballistics dont change with time. The comparison may be from 1911, but physics remain constant. Stick to the basics.
