Re: Why carry a .40 or.45

I also have a few guns I shoot on a regular basis including a 38 special revolver, 380, 9mm, 40, and a 45.

I carry the 9mm (Kahr mk9 elite) most of the time because it has good stopping power, and is concealable for a slim framed guy like me. Just be carefull in your choice of ammo to put through it. I carry the Horniday Critical Defence 115 grain hollow points. Notice I do NOT carry +p....The Horniday round is designed to stay in the soft target and all it needs to do that is 115 grain.

I love my 45, and shoot it more often at the range as it is comfortable to shoot, but it is a full frame 1911 and I have a really hard time hiding that sucker during the summer in Houston. If someone broke into the house, and I had a choice of which weapon to grab, it would be the 45. If I need something to carry everyday...it's the 9mm.

Kahr in 9mm (all stainless) is a great gun. Kimber 1911....sweetness.

I like both, one is more practical for me to carry.
