I’ll take my 1911 .45 “Myth” over any 9mm you got.

"I’ll take my 1911 .45 “Myth” over any 9mm you got."

Well, everyone should go with what they are most comfortable with because I'll take my 9 over any .45 you got.

I’ll second that.

Is the .45 ACP a great caliber for stopping power of men? Absolutely.

Does it outperform smaller calibers such as the 9mm as it once did? No.

Modern ballistics have closed the gap between the 9mm and the 45 ACP. Many modern hollow tip bullets have 50% expansion. This means that a 9mm bullet (.355) actually expands to .5325 caliber, larger than an unexpanded 45 ACP.

Those are the cold, hard facts.
