.45 with less "punch-through" than a 9mm???
What kind of crappy .45 are you shooting?

The 9mm will punch through a wall or the side of a house cleaner thaqn the 45 acp so the chance of shooting your neighbor is higher with the 9mm.
A nine mm is just to small IMHO for personal protection.
The other thing with a Semi auto is that you must put a lot of time in on the jam clearing drills etc. If you are going to depend on one of them for protection. I elected to not spend countless hours on those drills and just use a revolver. Simple, no jams. I don't have the amount of follow up shots but I am not in law enforcement and will just hope that 6 will do the job.

What kind of crappy .45 are you shooting? Check the muzzle velocity and mushrooming of the two rounds and you'll see. The .45 was designed around the round, to stop a human in their tracks with one shot.

CorBon 185GR JHP +P, thats what! Bigger hole = more air in, more blood out! Probably wont penetrate thru and thru, but it will sure screw up everything close-by.
Exit wound = probable liability. Who needs that!

The correct expression is penetration.
9mm’s are a faster round and usually have greater penetration than the larger and usually slower .45acp round.
