Also, if your 9mmJHP fails to open, then it's just a small 9mm bullet hole!
You are far to biased and self righteous on the caliber issue.

Not biased at all. 9mm, .40, .45acp, 357SIG, they all do about the same if you load them with the correct ammunition (FMJ just doesn't do as well as a good jhp). You can't load 16 rounds of .45 into a compact handgun as easily as you can 9mm, though. I carry wherever I can (legally), and that includes my car. I would not want to have something that couldn't get in (or out...) of a car. My only bias is one of capacity, and against the 5.7 for anything more than varmints or paper-punching.
