Personally, I don't think a 9mm is any better than a .22 for stopping someone in a serious scenario. I have my .45 for good reason, and I think a .40 is a viable substitute if the .45 is too big for the shooter. 9mm just doesn't have the stopping power when adrenaline is flowing.
If you are not going to put in the range time. Get a mossburg pump. Just hearing the rack in a dark room would be deterrent enough for most.

Rear Diffrential Dana Turdy-Five going up!
Hey yall. Just got the news my rear diffrential is going up. BTW i'm Kevin, havn't been on here for a while to the newer/older people i never met. I have a red 2d XJ with 31x10.50 3 inch lift and tons of other ****.
Now to get to the point my Dana 35 is going up. I want to swap it out with a c8.25. Anyone here done that? Do you need to change anything? Or is it simple unbolt old, inbolt new. How does it work. Anyone got one for sale or know where a nice 29 spline is?

That's pretty funny considering it is Cleveland and his boss knew it wouldn't be long before he'd actually use it.

You can, but I won't do it.
Mossberg 500 Tactical for the win. Really, though, I agree with your comments about range time.
The thing is, though, if someone breaks into your home, their adrenaline is already flowing. They're ready for a fight, and they're looking out for you. If you encounter that, you aren't expecting it. I'm sure you know adrenaline makes a massive difference in a fight, and a 9mm just won't put some people down unless you hit their heart or their head. Maybe it's unnecessary, but I feel much better with my .45 and hollowpoint rounds.
9mm you have to be more precise but you can recover quicker and get off more rounds, just takes some practice you can't pray and spray and hope to stop someone. My wife carry's a HK 9mm and will double tap you in a heartbeat.

Welcome back. It's a bolt-on swap if you take one from an XJ.
