Just wanted to put in my 2 cents, Hawkeye pretty much summed it up. He knows his stuff for sure. I was told during our CC class, that bullet and gun manufacturers get together every 5 years to discuss new ammos, calibers and pressure levels for ammo. so they basically make the gun springs and guides etc, handle the new velocities and pressure levels. So a +p or ++p bullet from a .32 has the same stopping percentage as a .45. I CC Ruger P97 .45, but i wanted a .45 and it was only $260 brand new w/2 clips at Smith & Edwards. So far I have never had a jam and pretty much can hit a pop bottle at 40ft. And on a draw can get all 8 shots in 7x10 area at 21 feet. And if your going to CC, seriously think about if your able to shoot someone, if not dont CC. So many stories of people pulling their gun and hesitating then get their gun taken away and getting killed. If your just going to fish and keep a gun with you, you can open carry in most places. Just make sure you know the law and definitions before you open carry anywhere.
