Then why not make new "45s" that chamber 9mm rounds. Its the mechanism that matters isn't it. parsy.

Well, you are using your head. The M1911A1 has been available in 9mm for many years.

The problem is that 9mm ball is not a very good round. If someone is excited and/or drugged, they can take a handful of 9mm ball and still have enough fight left in them to kill you before they die.

I say, bring back the .45. It is a proven fight-stopper. And .45 ball (non-expanding) works great.

No, parsy, it is the slug. If I shoot someone with a 9mm, he ignores it. If I shoot him with a .45, he lies down and plays dead. I rather like that.
