I'm with the consensus.
I am not giving up my M-4, or humping a seven pound rifle shooting pistol rounds.
I do have a couple of cowboy carbines in .357 and .44 Magnum, and I like what they offer with those rounds, but I would not carry them in lieu of a rifle calibered long gun.
I have spent some time with Uzis and MP5s, and the same holds true there.
If the issue is ammo cost, you can get a drop in .22 conversion or a 7.62x39 weapon. The 7.62x39 is cheaper than the 9mm ammo.
To your original question, I like the .45 better for social work, and the 9mm better for range time.
