For personal defense, be it home defense or concealed carry, do you think nine rounds of .45 ACP from a 1911 or Sig P220 (both using 8 round magazines with 1 in the chamber) is enough?

A .45 that holds 9 rounds is going to be a big pistol
It is compared to a Glock 26 or Ruger single stack 9.I never thought of a standard 1911 as all that big......
8+1 is enough to deal with a lot of threats, but the more important question of 9 rounds of .45 is what gun are you using? A .45 that holds 9 rounds is going to be a big pistol and you could have 9 rounds of 9mm in a smaller pistol that's easier to carry and conceal.
