[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 2630098, member: 707"] Having seen more than a few people shot, and killed, by all common calibers: placement is king. After decades of experience, arms/ammunition makers know that .30-.45 handgun calibers work best for taking bi-pedal targets because they have highly comparable and consistent penetration and damaging capability. The cartridges offering comparable penetration have fairly different "ignition properties". I.e., .40 is "snappier" than a .45 which has more "push" than a 9mm. Bottom line, and easily demonstrable: a decently performing shooter will be faster and more accurate with 9mm than with .45 or .40 from the same platform; equally, the 9mm offers the same or greater capacity in a smaller frame (which is easier to control).
