Is 165 grain 45 acp the best option for self defense and cc?
pros:
>low penetration
>low recoil
>travels faster
>same diameter hole (roughly)
cons:
>no exit wound shock
>any barriers or armor will stop it or deflect it.
>reduced range
Alternatively is 147 9mm viable? Does it do more damage or just give the round better penetration. (Yes, I'm aware that handgun knockdown is a meme)
I'm in the market for a new cc. My 38 snub has seen better days. My main concern has always been close encounters and follow up shots.
9mm JHP is better on all accounts

Handgun rounds already suck, don't reduce their effectiveness further with low recoil rounds (less velocity)
I prefer 124gr +P 9mm

Which guns semis can handle +p? I was looking and a lot of companies claim it will void warranty. Not that I care, but it does raise questions about safety.
Can I load any cz in +p 9mm? The PCR looks nice.

hk usp can handle +p and +p+ they just state it gives accelerated wear

Hell yeah, the .45 ones can shoot .45 Super right out of the box too.

Glocks can handle +P just fine

that pic makes me wish bolt-action pistols that aren't an obrez were a thing

I am not comfortable with striker fire. It feels weird and I like the ability to double tap the pin if I have a bad round.

I think Desert Eagle uses a rifle-lite firing system.
