This is a debate which has gone on for a long time. Which is a better round ?
The 9mm round has the advantage that it is smaller, so there is a greater magazine capacity. Also since the round is smaller, there is less recoil, which means it is easier to bring the gun back on target. The detractors of the 9mm round argue that it will not always bring the target down.
The 45 is a larger round, but it has a much greater stopping power. The primary argument for this round is that it will bring the target down most of the time with just one shot.
