Um. My interpretation of this thread was that you wanted to step UP from 9mm. Not sidestep to a "9mil mini magnum". Go 10mm auto if the automatic thing makes your bum hum, if not buy a big wheel gun in .454 Casull. Or why not a 460 s&w magnum XVR. She'll shoot .45 colt for those days you don't want an inferno (loaded down of course), .454 Casull for when ya really want her to go bang, and the 460 S&W magnum for when you want to have pants wetting fun over and over again! Just my 2 cents but hey, this is a discussion, right? Lol. Good luck with the search!
