To this day I am a Sig guy but long ago switched back to the .45. I have a couple of 9mm's - but use them for plinking only - which, in my opinion, is about all they are good for. Now, having said that, they WILL kill you dead and the FPS is good on those rounds. Maybe a little too good. Part of the problem with stopping power is that they tend to go through fast, without a lot of damage. Hitting someone with a 45 is like taking a ball bat to the chest.

I've heard of people taking .45 rounds and getting up....but not very often.
