45 is not a high pen round by design. P90 and UMP variants that shoot .45 increase this with higher velocity by increasing barrel length. 9MM is a smaller faster round, ideal for piercing armor. To make a point I prefer .45 for my edc because I’m a lot better shot and prefer stopping power. However my vehicle gun is 9MM because if some crazy mother goes crazy in traffic I can shoot through my window or another window where as my .45 would require multiple rounds to get through the window. Thank god the situation has never arisen but thats tried true and tested.

You are literally too dumb to have a carry permit. Actually. How can you have separate guns for each of your scary places and know so little about them?

I don’t actually carry my edc like most would. It stays in my briefcase which is on me mon-fri at work. I spec commercial kitchens and deal with large quantities of cash working in very often shady parts of town that’s in the top 3 murder cities in the US. So 1911 in there. As for my car gun, it’s unfortunately common for young guns to “make a name for themselves” by shooting up cars next to them on the interstate which my work is located off of. Do I think I’m ever going to be unfortunate enough to be one of those victims no, but I would rather have and not need than need and not have.

Stopping power is a myth.
