The 9mm will never match the stopping power of the 45acp. I feel when in doubt if I second guess myself I ccw the 357,41,44 magnum. When your life depends on stopping power offer the bad guy the very best.
Don't underestimate the 1911/45acp loaded with those Speer 200gr jhp soup bowel hollow points. I did a lot of wet sand testing before I pick a round to carry.

Except you are talking ball ammo. A jhp hitting 60cal. Doesnt really matter where it started.
FWIW, wet sand testing tells you little about a bullets ability to expand in flesh. Wetpack or bal gel are really the only semi valid testing medium. Even water isnt correct.
