I'm happy with my Pistol 88(A Glock 17 adopted by the Swedish army). It's accurate, it's light, recoil dampening works extremely well, it's durable, and it can handle M39/B 9x19. If I'd choose another gun, I'd go with a SIG Pro, either a SP2340 chambered for .357 SIG or the SP2009. Both are incredibly nice, and the .357 SIG is a wonderful bullet.

Every man whos job description involves carying guns must chose a gun that suits him best. Loks are not important.
For me the primary weapon is my M76, and for 0-800m is fairly good. I picked my backup weapon from the folowing criteria:
- ligntnes
-durability
- abyliti to function after exposure to hard enviorment (mud, sand, salt water etc)
-sensitivity to mechanical damage
- size (weight)
-number of rounds
and 9mm HS was the best gun ofered to me. Now for somebody who comes in contact with his target in distances less then 100m (cops, agents etc.) and in that moment his pistol (revolver) is his primary weapon is logical to chose a wepon of superior stoping power. .45 caliber weapons are the logical choice. Ofcourse also it all depens whitc type of bullet you youse. Nekakami said that there is wery small diference in eficency at the target between 9mm and .45 cal. Honestly i dont have any exspirience (in action) with .45 . We yust dont use it.
But i have another question.Is the reason for al the comotion geograficly orientated. After all the Europieans always prefered the use of 9mm. Does this question has influence on professionals? Could this be the reason for so meny oposite opinions in this subject?
ps: i apologise if i made few spelling mistakes

Nekekami:
On a decent level 111 vest both 9mm and .45 are going to have little effect but I have seen both knock someone off thier feet. Granted there are always different circumstances that can assist in this.

I'm a big fan of the .40 as well and love my P99. Personally I would love a 9x21mm so I can run some armor peircing steel core sp-10 rounds. But thats just me.
P.S. I wish more gun makers would do like Glock does so it doesn't matter what gun you use (full size, compact, sub-compact) all full size mags will still fit. Why other manufacturers don't do this is beyond me.
