Best Answer

this is very controversial subject my father believes a 9mm is a great defense weapon. the problem i have with this caliber is that it velocity is to fast, this means the bullet has the opportunity to travel straight through the target and hit what ever is behind the target. a 45 is slower and heavier bullet. this means that when the bullet hits the target, it delivering all of its kinetic energy when it hits the target. Allowing the shooter to use one bullet rather than 2 or 3 bullets from the 9mm

The 9 mm is good for killing from a long distance, but yea if your getting attacked an you shoot the attacker it will take him down.

I would say a fair gun. The Llama pistols are not the highest quality guns ever made, and not the worst.


Is a 9mm stronger than a 380?

They are the same, but the word 9mm is shorter. I disagree: when you buy a gun that is 9mm it will be different bullets that you buy- 9mm, ironically, are longer. So yes, a 9mm is stronger. Please specify whether you mean the gun itself, or the round you intend to be firing.
