If 9mm stays withing $5 a box of .45 I will be shooting more .45.
When the .45acp is truly obsolete it will be a sure sign of the end of days.
My range is currently charging $40 for a box of .45 range ammo. I'm glad I roll my own.
Between the common service calibers, the bore size of the gun is the last thing one should consider.
Locally, I've been seeing .45 ball for $25 a box, and 9mm for $30 or better.
When you could [I]find[I] 9mm, that is.
Mas Ayoob Is 45 Auto Obsolete?
NEVER! And so say all those who subscribe to the truth. :cool:
Bill Wilson and Massad Ayoob discussing 9mm and .45acp, with a large emphasis on arthritic hands:

The idea of shooting 1000 rounds of .45 ACP through a pistol makes my hands hurt just thinking about it. I would much rather do it with a 9mm Luger pistol. Regardless of cost, availability, or debates about "stopping power," it feels better. And I will assert that he knows nothing if a person has not put at least a 1000 rounds through his pistol. So, yes, the .45 ACP is obsolete as fair as I am concerned.
The whole article reads like some easy pay copy with some advertisement for Springfield Armory, and that's fine - Mr. Ayoob's work and reputation needs no introduction. I'm glad that the industry places value on what he has to say.
I think "obsolete" is a poor choice of word. "Impractical" might've been more apropos.
