Well, it's that same ol'same ol' story... "Which is better?"
I must say that with this ammo... It pretty much makes NO difference.
WOW! LINK Whatta'ya think?

Small fragmentation from a handgun round, regardless of performance consistency? Again, I'll Pass
I'm more interested in penetration with the largest effective diameter projectile possible.
45 ACP hollow points for me.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I think his words were ( he was a deputy sheriff ) " a 22 in the eye is better than a 45 in the thigh any day"
with the advancements in ammo design they continue to say the 9mm is equal to the 45 of yesterday .
to me that just means the 45 is a lot better also [:D]
I have also had the reason from many at work the 9mm is cheaper to shoot so that's why they went with it ,

.45 slightly heavy and bulky. More recoil. However hard hitting.
9mm light and slight. Less reoil. Rabbit punchs that run deep.

A 9MM in your holster is absolutely, no question about it, 100% better than your 45ACP you left at home!
If you are not a good shot the extra 12 rounds in some 9mm might make up the difference.....
...the extra rnds for me,is staying alive!I like the higher capacity of the Browning Hi Power over all the other nines...A well placed nine can do the same as a 45....I just like the balance and feel of the Browning...Look at the crosses in Europe!I guess its all with what your comfortable with..[;)]
From what I saw in the Video is there was not much penetration.
As far as 9mm vs 45 goes as Hilliary would say; "What difference does it make"
Bullet placement and penetration are all that really matter and IMO that ammo comes up short in the penetration department.
Disregarding one's personal opinion on which is "best", one thing cannot be questioned.

conversely the 45acp in your holster is 100% better than the 9mm you left at home. Probably also better than the 9mm in your backup holster.

Just once I'd like to see someone do their whiz bang/gel block testing with a down vest and denim jacket pulled over the gel block. While they're at it, how 'bout a piece of 16g sheet metal to simulate a car door or small section of hollow core interior door to simulate, of course, an interior door.
They already do those type of tests.
He said the lead man took 9 rounds from the crotch to the neck. He died, but before he did he was able to kill the German with his M1.
The old guy shook his head, said he couldn't imagine that happening had the attacker been using a Thompson.
