Actually, the 9mm with the right load does just as much damage as the .45 ACP. And for a home defense load in your 12 gauge #1 or #4 buckshot it better than 00 buck.

I guess the main theme of this article is that IF the 9mm bullet deforms to a .50" hole, and it penetrates effectively, then it will be as good as the .45.
