I guess this dosen't really fit in the 'survival' firearm thread since this would be a concealed carry gun. If all I had was either one of these and came across a grizzly, whatever else I did I'd save one bullet for myself...!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Anyway....17 rounds of 9 versus 14 rounds of 40. Seems pretty obvious to me, especially down here where Oxycontin (hillbilly heroin) abuse is rampant and meth is on the rise. As Frank Castle's dad said to him in the novel of 'The Punisher' movie, regarding Frank's mocking of his dad's 1911's:

"You may laugh, boy...just don't come crying to me when you fill a druggie full of nines and he just walks up and breaks your [wimpy] little Glock over your head!"

Unless there are some really hot 9mm loads that have comparable results to the .40. And I read a *lot* of gun mags about Glock's legendary reliability, which is why I'm strongly leaning to getting one....can any of you folk attest to this?
