[QUOTE="Koshinn, post: 1576113, member: 18314"] That same effect should happen witih .40 and .45 as well. While I don't have first hand experience of wounds caused by pistol rounds, research shows that 9, .40, and .45 are all similar in penetration and wounding effects; they all only damage what they physically touch. You'd need a much higher velocity round to create a large permanent wound cavity. As has been stated over and over, what matters is [i]shot placement[/i] when talking about pistol calibers. I'd rather have lower recoil and more rounds in the magazine for quicker follow up shots, which is why I like 9mm. [/QUOTE]
