Curious about 9x18 stopping power.

I'm going to try some 9mm pistols, but

I'm still satisfied with what I've got (at least for now).

I have no doubt the 9mm is better than 9x18. In fact the 9mm is one of my favorite rounds. I also like many 9mm guns (though that does not mean I can shoot them).

I also still like the 9x18 and especially like the guns made for it. In particular, I like the CZ-83.

If you gave me a choice between a .38 Spl and a 9x18, I'd take the 9x18 without hesitation. Similar performance between a .38 Spl Snub and a 9x18 pistol. Also similar size. The 9x18 pistols hold a lot more ammo, especially my CZ-83 (12+1). I also find the 9x18 pistols much more accurate than a .38 snub.

In my opinion, the 9x18 is a good round, as is the .38 Spl. The 9mm is a great round. Great guns are made for all 3.
