I like to shoot quite a bit. When I find $8.99/box 9mm, I buy all I can. Now that I've been spoiled, spending $13-$18 on range ammo just seems wasteful. Personally, (oh shit, here we go) I don't value the tactical advantage of a larger caliber gun. I shoot paper and shove in my pants... that's it. I'm not disparaging the .40, .45, or any other.... I simply don't have the need for one right now.
