Thanks for the info. I will not give up my search for a 9mm weapon which works for me. I probably need to go for larger, heavier and longer barrel, from what I am reading here.

Oh, I know you can find videos. I meant more the censorship of videos themselves and the censorship IN the videos is disgusting. Lots of words need to be ** out. It is gross.
Not exactly. If you know how to record âfirearm videoâ, what words to use you can simply cheat Google algorithms.
Additionally âlikesâ and âsubscribesâ prevent videos to be censored or blocked.
Disgusting⊠is the way how this Country has been leaded for last 4 years⊠You Tube is great comparing to this⊠

As an update, I found the video on Facebook, itâs just a sales pitch for USCCA insurance.
Carry on.
What firearm or self defense words need to be out?

Heavier can help along with a grip that fits well. Though Glock grips donât âfitâ my smallish hands well at all but I can shoot them very well without hand discomfort. Longer barrel pistols tend to be heavier but for some pistols you can get aftermarket back straps made from brass that add weight without the added length
If it is the recoil that is bothering your hands you may want to look into getting a pistol with a ported barrel or compensator to decrease the recoil impulse. If you are OK with a largish pistol that wouldnât be the easiest thing to conceal I would look into the new CANIK TTI Combat. It is supposed to be very soft shooting. I have the Rival which doesnât have the compensator on the end and donât notice the recoil from it at all so the Combat should be even more pleasant to shoot.
I agree completely but it raises a question in my mind. How many rounds can you put down range before you need a new barrel, springs and such?
It depends.
What gun, what ammo.
But I am, and this is part of why, a huge proponent of having duplicates, or near duplicates. One to carry, one for the range. Test and use and prove the carry one âenoughâ, and shoot it periodically, but the most of your range work with the duplicate gun.
Consult your ownerâs manual for service intervals.

I was thinking more along the lines of only replacing the barrel. Only a simple swap out with a semiautomatic. But with laws the way they are now days, barrels are serial numbered and as far as I know have to match the other number.
I know of no federal requirement that they match, and in most states it shouldnât matter either. If you live in a (bad) state that registers handguns or requires you to list your carry gun by caliber/serial on your permit to carry (looking at you CA, NY, NJ, etc) then there would certainly be an issue to raise with the state authorities and find out.
But federally and most-states, there is no issue if you swap the barrel or upper for a different caliber
People fairly regularly do things like buy a Glock in .40 and also shoot or carry 9mm in it with a barrel swap, or 10mm and also a barrel for .40, etc.

I thought I saw it in the USCCA blog pages a few days ago.
I have 9mm and 380 pistols, But I carry a 380 and that is the caliber that is also staged in the house. I carry an LCP max or P365-380, pocket sized, with Gorilla Silverback defensive loads. The staged gun is a Ruger Security 380. Everyone in the family can rack it and it is, by far, the gun that everyone is most accurate with. This is due to the longer barrel and lighter recoil. We also have an SAR9 and Canik SFX9, with longer barrels, that can be accessed relatively quickly. For me, the gun that people can manipulate and hit the target with, is the best choice for self defense.
