9mm with modern ballistics allows for 50% expansion. This means that a 9mm bullet (.355) actually expands to .5325 ,larger than 45 ACP.

Uh huh, and if you use a modern .45 ACP how do you beat it's expansion? If you want to stop someone, sometimes bigger is better, though I am a stick in the mud with a Browning Hi Power in 9mm, old design that can handle just about anything.
