Wow, nice collection. I carry a Browning Hi-Power 9mm, also loaded with hydra-shocks. Sometimes speer gold dot's, but they don't always feed 100% reliably in the browning. But my Beretta92fs digests them just fine. The Beretta is just a little too big and heavy for a primary carry piece. I have a Smith&Wesson Sigma on layaway right now. It's a .40S&W, which I'm not completely sold on, but I couldn't pass up the price. I am primarily a 9mm guy, .45 guys hate that, but the numbers don't lie. A 9mm loaded with quality hollow points has a better one-shot stop record than most .45's. A hot .45 leaves the muzzle at around 850 feet per second with a 230 grain bullet. A hot nine leaves the muzzle at around 1300 FPS with a 124 grain bullet. This tends to have a more devestating effect on target, with much less chance of over-penetration.
