I've been trying to compare the two of them... and different types of ammo... so far the only place I've gotten is lost. haha however...
Compare these two rounds, and let me know what you guys think about the velocity/energy comparison between the two.

I'm keeping my .45 because I think that the higher energy delivered is an important factor, and I love the round. But I don't think there's much of a difference when you include the ability to have a few more rounds of 9mm. The .45 ACP does hit harder, but neither will actually stop a living creature anyway unless you destroy the nervous system. I think you're more likely to do that with a 9mm, just being able to place more shots.
Also.. I'm comparing the numbers between the 3" 45 at 50, to the 4" 9mm at 50. If you give the 45 a longer barrel it will deliver more energy still.
