I was responding as to why I liked the 9mm and why it felt so good in a 1911 frame. Since I don't plan on facing Moros anytime soon stopping power in a Philippine jungle is not high on my list of must haves.

I just like the idea of having a weapon that fits what the inventor of the weapon had in mind.

And should Moros invade my abode I have two .45acp's ready to engage.
