Given the 10 round magazine limit, what is the point of a full sized 9mm? In Kalifornia, we can't even legally buy or import a hi-capacity magazine anymore. In those states that still allow pre 1994 banned magazines, the price is generally sky high. For the sake of this argument, lets assume that hi-caps are no longer available for sale.
What advantage does a 10 shot full size 9mm have over a 10 shot .40 or .45? My personal philosophy is to own full sized .45s for home defense. I use 9mm only in compact/subcompact concealable pistols. A ten shot 9mm full sized pistol seems like such a waste of size.
The only advantage I can see for a 10 shot full sized 9mm is that its cheaper to shoot and would make a better target gun than a full sized .40. But for a defensive handgun, what does a full sized 10 shot 9mm have to offer that a .40 or .45 can't?
