The military uses both calibers...Which is preferred as a carry round???
And Why???
My choice, upon further thought, is both. We have 2 hands, why not carry 2? So, my answer changes to .45 and .9, together. And maybe a BUG or two, too. :lol:
A .9 caliber firearm would be huge. If a .50 AE is big (like a Desert Eagle) I would imagine that a .9 would be much bigger. :haha:
All kidding aside, I would recommend carryig a primary and BUG of the same caliber if possible. This would simplify keeping track of your ammo.

my Colt 45mm
Has anyone on here ever carried any caliber bigger than a .45, like the .454 Casull, .454 Alaskan, .460, .50AE, or S&W .500 magnum?
Main reason I went with a .45 for a carry gun was cause I found a great deal on a Kimber Ultra Carry II. Originally I was going to go with a XD9 but found a guy at the sheriff’s office selling his slightly used Kimber for $450. Couldn't pass that up. Then with a little practice can shoot it just as well as a 9mm.
I like the extra weight and diameter of the .45 but I think the .40 and 9mm are also affective defensive rounds. I feel whatever you can shoot the best with should be what you carry. Scoring 3 hits with a 9mm is better the scoring 3 missing with a .45.
