Alas, yes... we have become a society of shooters which measures success in the number of bullets we can place into a bad guy - rather than emphasizing the ease of ending it all with an accurate shot from the neanderthal .45acp. Guns sell, today, based upon magazine capacity and the number of contraptions one can hang off it.
Thank you, but, I am old; carried a Commander for +35 years; and have to pee a lot. My intent is to simply kill the bad guy with shot one or a double tap... and then go pee. I have no time for gunfights or go-zillion round magazines.
This is not to say 9mm won't get the job done, as it seems to be working quite well in every city neighborhood and all over the world. Gang bangers and drug runners love it just as much as LEO's and others.
