I am a fan of the .45 in general. why because i shoot it better. with all the ammunition developments you can't go wrong with either. granted, the bigger the whole you make the better. the only thing 9mm offers is that the ammunition is cheaper.

research on this can go either way actually. if you take the size of the round and the hole it makes, then sure the 45 is better.
but if you take into account the speed (potential energy) of the round plus the grain of the bullet, then the 9mm is the better to have in your hand.
me personally, i like to shoot a nice 45, but when it comes to my carry and protection piece, then i use the SA XD40 subcompact. in my house, i use a nice 12 ga shotgun with lead shot.
