Best Answer

Which is better- Spaghetti or Pizza? The .40 cal has more energy, and appears to be a higher "stopping power" round than the 9mm Parabellum. The 9mm has less recoil, and the ammunition is (generally) less expensive. You will find folks that can argue BOTH sides of this questions.

EDIT*

The .40 is generally preferred in combat situtations as it is significantly more powerful and is not too much bigger.

Difference between a 9mm pistol and a .40 pistol?

The .40 caliber fires a larger, more powerful cartridge than the 9mm. which is about .35 caliber. Minor additional info: Many models of pistols that are available in 9mm or .40 are otherwise the same, except for caliber. For instance, a Glock 19 and a Glock 23 are the same exact guns, but the 19 is a 9mm and the 23 is a 40...the 23 holds 2 less rounds.
