Default both are good...

I like the .30, but ammo is expensive and sometime not readily available... 9mm, when not on, "Panic sale!" is relatively cheap...The .30 is really pretty snotty when shot out of a long barrel, 6 inches or better... but, according to the whole world less the Swiss, 9mm has more energy for attack or defense?? BTW, check your want add, I have something that might be of interest to you... til...lat'r...GT

I agree. In fact, my 6" .30 Franken-Luger you re-barreled for me is now my favorite shooter--partly because it's the one I get the best results with but also largely because I find it rather friendly and sweet to fire.

I've been accumulating brass in .30 Luger, buying Fiocchi ammo when I can find it for around $20 a box, finding brass on auction sites, etc. so I can reload this historic caliber, which is so very pleasant to shoot.
