Please excuse my ignorance, but we are talking SD9 as in Springfield Armory, right? If so a deputy has one and LOVES IT! It does feel pretty good in the hand, course his is a .40.

lazi, I agree. 9mm is a good round. The 9mm/40/45 argurment will never end. That's ok. It's better to be able to place accurate shots (as in NOT flinching) and stop the threat than just get a "grazing" shot and get your A** beat!
