Civilian .45 and 9mm differs from military ammo in that military bullets are FMJ. Home defense ammo is not, and a lot more energy is delivered to the target regardless of caliber.Bought a Browning High Power the week after I turned 21. 14 shots are better than 7 or whatever the Luger held. Might not stop you in your tracks like the 45 though.
In our Squadron Operations Center we had a book by the Army Medical Corps about WWII wounds. It took a strong stomachs to look through more than a few pages.
Small arms wounds aren’t as terrifying as artillery wounds, but anyone would be hard-pressed to see a difference between .45 ACP and 9mmP wounds.
Later, took a course at Sig Academy and someone asked the ‘Stopping Power” question. The instructor pulled up a case in which a police team entered a building to be confronted by a man with a gun. The LEO shot him point blank with a 12 ga slug in the center of the chest. The guy turned around and ran up a flight of stairs before expiring.
