Boy, do I understand THAT!
I don't have a herniated disc, but a compressed disc and Sciatica tend to be rather distracting as well.

Understandable!
I like the 45 as well, but don't underestimate the 9mm. As I said, ballistically, it fits right in between the 38 Special and the 357 Magnum.
I run my 9mm handloads in the Beretta at 1250 FPS with a 125 grain bullet. That gives me 434 Foot Pounds of muzzle energy. Standard military hardball in a 1911 has 356 foot pounds of muzzle energy. (230 grain bullet at 835 FPS.)
45 or 9mm? Neither of them are anything to take lightly.
