In a purse?

To preempt any possible EC mocking, I just threw my Sig P250 .40 into the woods. It would have gone FAR too, except I tripped in my high heels and fell as I threw it.
I like cats AND .40... just no fanny packs for me.
For some caliber/gun combinations are a very emotional subject.
I shoot Pins, Steel, USPSA and IDPA, among others and use the caliber/gun combination (single stack, double stack, 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP) that is called for dependent on the game. Occasionally, I just feel like shooting a gun because it’s fun, although not the best choice for the game.
To me the 9mm is a soft recoiling round, the 40 S&W is a bit snappy and the 45 ACP just a bit harder recoiling. My failure drill time and accuracy is the essentially the same with all three rounds and similar platforms.
All three calibers are suitable for carry.
Which action pistol sport are you getting into?

I shoot all three competitively, in fairly similar firearms. I find factory 9mm rather light in perceived recoil, the 40 S&W is a definite step up and the 45ACP is still another step.The amount of recoil developed by a pistol is directly related to the energy of the round fired. Depending on the load any of the above cartridges could develop the most recoil in a comparable pistol.
I prefer the .45 because it is already almost 1/2 in in diameter without any expansion. The M&P .45 will hold 10 rounds in a grip frame that is comfortable for small hands; 14 if you go with the extended mag.
I'm sure they do. I carry a 9mm.
Just the cartridge, not a gun. If somebody pises me off enough to use it, I'll insert it manually.
Because the .30-200 is a wimpy ass British version of the .38 Short Colt and the .455 Webley is another anemic BRITISH little turd?(...except before that we had .38-200 and .455, so why did we need .38spl and .357mag again? This stuff all goes in circles. Marketing!)
I guess there is 'acceptable' and then there is "What Jesus would carry". (^_^)
Any round known as a "foh-tay" doesn't cut it for me.
According to some of the residents at the section 8 housing complex I work security for, the "foh-tay" and the "nine" are the same thing, and are almost exclusively fired from a "glock, all chromed out". They're interesting people to chat with, lol.

I bet you have some interesting stories.
I'm calling BS on this one. Everyone knows that the laws of Massachusetts prevent unlicensed individuals from carrying a gun.One upstanding gentleman that turned his life around after a stay at Ludlow (house of corrections for youthful offenders) told me how he used to carry a "glock". He also specified on different occasions that it was both a "foh tay" and a "nine", and that it shot very small bullets so you could easily carry a pile of them in your coat pocket. Naturally, I assume he had a Glock 23 with a 9mm conversion barrel and a .22 conversion kit so he could afford to shoot more at the range.
I wear a suit so I can't carry a full sized 1911 or I would. That little 360 kicks ass.
