My primary hobby...

[47_MasoN_47]

9mm is my primary defensive round. It's versatile, has little recoil, and has more than enough manstopping power. 7/35 of my guns are 9mm. Only thing I have more of than that is .22 (of course). Plus if someone busts up in my house I can dispatch them without waking the neighbors, or hurting my little earsies.



.380 is enough to put someone down with proper shot placement, but so is pretty much everything else. I vastly prefer 9mm over .380 mostly for ammo availability. It's hard to find a good .380 JHP that will properly expand, whereas there are TONS of them for 9mm. Practice is the most important thing though. I shoot my defensive gun (the PPS) at least 100 rounds every 2 weeks, if not more often. If you can afford it, I highly recommend the PPS. Hell, if you feel froggy and want to try out anything of mine I've got pistols in .22, 7.62x25, .32 S&W/magnum, .32 ACP, .380ACP, 9mm, .38spl, .357, and .45 ACP. I don't like the snappiness of .40 so I don't have any of those though.

I finally got accepted to the local gun club and have been shooting with those guys a lot. I love the competitions they have. Just about every weekend I'm shooting some sort of competition. Next Saturday is .22 pistols @ 50 yards. I absolutely LOVE shooting .22, and those matches are a blast. I'll be taking the Charger out there for the .22 pistol match :)
