I expect it to be something a little more suited for carrying as a backup when hunting, hiking, and/or camping in the event I run onto an ill tempered bear or a big cat. Something that I could take a small deer with if I wanted at close range. A caliber that I could use for fun and an added challenge on feral hogs who are starting to invade some hunting spots. Something that I would feel comfortable with carrying to and from those hunting/hiking/camping spots as a self denense weapon so I don't have to pack 2 handguns around. And something in the same platform as the G17or M&P9 that are my EDC guns.
Yes it is expensive and hard to find.
I have looked at some charts and compared it to some other calibers and realize that the differences may be negligable but I am certainly no expert in this category (or in anything really) so I wanted to gather some opinions of some of the more knowledgeable folks here.
For my stated purposes would I be better off with a 40, 45, or either one of the 9's I carry now?
