I agree shot placement comes first! But against moving targets and incoming fire that is not always possible. The study offers proof, however, that 9mm, .40SW and .45ACP are not equal. And that bigger holes are more liking to end a firearm confrontation in favor of the larger caliber, other factors being even. The US Army studies bear this out as well, and is why they want a bigger caliber. And lets not forget that the NATO 9mm round is more like a 9mm +P round. To me this means that the only advantage 9mm offers is perhaps more rounds.
But as you said hitting your target is the desired result. These studies tell me that perhaps the best investment is in training. And then in more training. I definitely need more awareness training. Better to avoid a fight. I need more combat simulation training. I can hit non-moving targets at the range very well, but that is not a realistic scenario. I may need to take a week off and go out to a place like Gunsite Academy.
