[Travis McGee]

For the "average" minimally trained sad sack or flatfoot, the 9mm is the way to go.

Every serious SRT and military specops unit has gone back to the .45 though. All of them.

The DA 9mm is a great first gun to break in a non-shooting chick on though, I'll grant you that.

Or weakish men with smallish hands who tend to flinch.

[Scalia Rules]

Macho B.S. is not sound advice for the defensive needs of "average people"--who you impugn anyway.
