Exactly!!! ^^^
OP needs to do some online research about the ballistics difference between .22 LR and 9mm, .45, .40, etc. A large man will not be phased by a .22 unless you just so happen to hit him in the eye... And if he's wearing a thick leather jacket and other clothes, I doubt the .22...
A friend bought one, he has around 15 pistols and the VP9 is his favorite... I want one badly, I just didn't have the cash, so I settled for a F&N FNP-9 (9mm), and also bought a Ruger 9E. If I can find the right price on a VP9, I'll snatch it up now that I have a little extra cash. :)
Actually, with TN sales tax at 9.5%, my cost at a local gun shop with $10 background would've been $435.96, so I saved a lot of money by going online, but I could've save another $20-$25 at CTD and one other site I found... :( CTD is normally horrific on shipping prices from what I've seen on...
I found the best place to get the magazines online... Cheaper Than Dirt... You can get two for under $56 including shipping if you choose "Surepost" for your shipping...
