If you're going to be killing large wild animals (i.e. mountain lions), 9mm will probably not do you much good. 10mm or .45 (ACP+P or GAP). Neither of these rounds is as cheap as 9mm, which runs into the problem of price discouraging practice.

Last I checked, cougars didn't need a gun to kill you several different ways in a matter of seconds.
