More than 40 years ago I knew a LEO who was in a gunfight with 2 assailants - the one with a 9mm hit him first with 2 rounds (1 in the arm and 1 in the mid-section) then the one with a 45 hit him once in the lower leg. He said he didn't initially think the 9mm hit him, but when the 45 hit him, he went down instantly. He was saved by his partner who got both shooters with a 6 shot 38 Spl.

In my opinion the advantage of a 9mm is that when you are being shot at it is comforting to have 12-16 shots without reloading (spray and pray).
