The Eternal Debate Over Calibers

Check out this thread on Handgunforum.net regarding caliber effectiveness, 9mm, .380, and .45.

Bottom line: there's a difference, but not all that much. What it really comes down to is shot placement, in my opinion.

So if you shoot one caliber better than another, use it. You're more likely to make a stopping hit with it.

I mean, really. 9mm's are a bit smaller than .45's, but not all that much. How much REAL difference is it going to make?

Anyway, a fun discussion one way or the other. Gun aficionados are encouraged to join in the fun.

Actually, that guy has his numbers wrong. The 45 was TKO of 9.929, the 9mm 7.024 and the 380 4.701. So the 45 has a 41% higher TKO than the 9mm and a 111% over the 380.
