I'd appreciate if you'll share your knowledge of .45 and 9mm models, for concealed carry.

Thanks Much,
Louis

This question is immensly broad. Can you narrow it down a little?

What do you want to know about them?

a 9MM might expand to a 45 size hole..the 45 will never shrink to the size of a 9MM..all5x

If you do your job with proper shot placement, either caliber will work

For the most part I carry a .40 and occasionally will carry a 9mm and have even been known to carry a .380. I would feel comfortable with any of them. As long as you place your shots right any of them will do the job. I however do not have any experience with .45.

I've worked on a couple hundred handgun shooting cases - they seem to work equally well on people. 9mm tends to be easier to shoot well and the 9mm guns hold more rounds.

Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement.

But I have both.

+1 with Eric.

You can shoot someone with a .500 S&W but if you don't put it in the right place it won't do any good. I would carry a 9mm over a 45acp due to the size, weight, and round count aspect. A CS9 or 3913 are excellent carry guns.

Eric, look at your post count. Wooooo. Even more evil. An extra 6 for fun!

Well, lessee, I got a M&P 9mm compact thats a lot smaller than my Springfield TRP. I also have a Colt LW officers model (.45) thats a lot smaller than my Beretta 92f.
So much depends on the gun and the platform its built on, the caliber seems of minor significance in the carrying equation.

(Naw, not really - it's "Erich"!)

I like the CS9 and CS45. Either round will do quite well, so choose the one you like. Also popular are the Models 3913, 457, Compact M&P and snubnose 357 and 38 special revolvers. Using what you can hit with under pressure is more important than the ballistic differences.

I have carried a Glock 36 in 45 ACP. More recently I have opted for more discreet pocket carry with either my S&W 642 or Kahr PM-9 - they both conceal easilly in a pant pocket with a pocket holster.
