Except it's not just gel tests. Results from real-world shootings show very little difference in actual effectiveness among the service calibers, from 9mm to .45ACP.
So carry what you want. They all have the potential to work if you can get rounds on target. If OP doesn't want to invest in 9mm, then don't.
