I appreciate the lesson, I really do. Really, I wouldn't want to get shot with either.
In my experience, i've seen people shot with .9mm and just bled like stuffed pigs.
The .38 well.....................
Just a couple of my many ugly NYC experiences.
I still trust my .38 for stopping power more so than my .9mm. Maybe its just me but the .38 seems more accurate.
No matter what gun you choose for carry, hopefully you'll only need one shot if SHTF. I guess in a panic situation or a SHTF situation recoil will be you last concern. You can put some ice on you hand later, right?
