I was nervous as fuck at first... its weird weilding that much power in your hand.
The sound/light show was so much more than I expected for 'only' a 9. i exptected 'pop'..... it was 'BLAM'.
I can now 100% understand thse videos where you see a clerk gunfighting a robber from 20 feet away, yet neither one gets hit.
Ultimately it was fun. I was the best out of the 3 of us (but we were all total noobs).
yeah!!! a 44 mag screwed up my wrist after the third shot!!!!
That thing is bad ass!!!! I was shooting at some junk tvs me & my friend had several guns, the 22 richoeted off the tube but left a dent, the 9mm entered but ran down the tube & exited out the neck, the 44 mag blew the whole set to hell! imagine if that was your head!!!!!
I dont think a 9mm is all that powerfull of a round, compared to a .223 or even a 22mag. Try a 7mm Rem mag !!!! I almost fell out of tree stand once..lol
I collected colts for a while. Got a Peacemaker when I was younger. Had an Anaconda and a Python for a while, sold em both. Still have a replica 1861 .60 ball and cap Navy 'Hand Cannon'. That's a rough ride. Never felt like reloading after the first six, its just too fucking harsh on the system.
Still have a matched Pair of Franchi S/A 12's, a Remmy 1100, Browning 2000. Thats about it.

9mm is not bad for a new shooter. I let my wife shoot my .357 mag once. It kick so hard and blew some fire out the barrel and scared here to death. She turned around with it shaking in her hand and scared me to death. Not fun looking at the business end of one of these with the person holding it freaking out let me tell you.

LOL! Live and learn. My friend had a sawed off shotgun with a pump and pistol grip handle on the end..... he let me shoot it, i held it up to my face to aim like a rifle,The @&^$&* Kicked back and totally almost knocked me out,i had a lump on my chin the size of a golf ball!
indifference doesn't equal anti IMO -- when I think of someone who is anti-gun, I think of someone with a deep loathing for guns and anyone who owns one. Kinda like Ted Kennedy -- he prefers to kill people with his car.

Oh, yeah. Apples and oranges. Any handgun round is going to be a whole 'nother story from a rifle round.
9mm is kind of nasty for a beginner, IMO. The recoil and the report are both sharp. A .45 is deeper in tone and the recoil, while firm, is less of a snapping motion.
Only shot a .357 once, but I took it seriously, concentrated on the basics -- and got nice scores.
I am anti-gun.... if they took them all away today I wouldnt care at all.

I would prefer if all handguns & semi-autos were illegal and all guns were registered.

First, define power. Are you talking about what the bullet does to the target or are you looking at recoil.
Assuming recoil, what gun (not caliber) are we shooting. A 9mm fired from one pistol can be an entirely different experience than the same round fired from a different gun. Same goes with each caliber.
