Hey TFL,
Going to be moving to the Denver area in another year due to a job offer and I wanted to ask for some input on another pistol to get. I currently have a shield 9mm and a Ruger SR45 full size. I've been wanting to bridge the gap between these two guns and get a handgun with more capacity than the shield, but easier to conceal than the SR. I like both 9 and 45, but have been favoring 45 lately. I've read that Colorado has a 15 round magazine limit, so that makes me think the playing field is more level for choosing something like Glock 30 that can take up to 13 rounds of 45.
Basically, I'm wondering if the little bit of extra capacity of a 15 round 9mm like the g19 or m&p compact outweighs the larger bullet of a 45.
I plan to fish, hunt, hike, etc. and am not sure if 9mm or 45 is better for the critters out that way. Looking at glock (19 and 30) and m&p (9c) as the main contenders for my purchase.
I'd greatly appreciate any input you have to offer.
Edit: I am also not opposed to 10mm, but please explain why you'd recommend this over 9 and 45 if you choose that.
