Default Re: 9mm vs. .45 ACP

I'm assuming the 9mm is easier to shoot, but the 45 has better stopping power. Is this correct? Are there any other factors to take into account? What's the difference in price for the ammo?

Yes, 9mm is easier to shoot. As far as stopping power, for home defense its not going to make a huge difference. If you don't plan on practicing, you may not even be accurate enough with the .45 to hit an intruder anyway. 9mm ammo is going to be MUCH cheaper, and you can find some pretty wicked rounds.
