"There is little to no noticeable difference in the wound tracks between premium line law Auto enforcement projectiles from 9mm Luger through the .45 Auto."
Not sure this is correct in terms of 9mm vs .45 ACP. While depth of penetration, bullet expansion success, and weight retention, may be equal, the .45 expands to a significantly larger diameter, and produces permanent wound cavities that are significantly more voluminous, which just has to affect fight stopping performance, even if just by increasing the probability of destroying vitals per round.
I guess if you say "it just has to" then it must be so. The forensic doctors and scientists of the IWBA have been wasting their time and efforts. Good to know, case closed.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I would think that "duty' 40 rounds = normal factory loads.
Yeah, downloading would tend to even the field out especially with lighter bullets in the 40's.
I also have to shoot the 40's that I have to stay on top of them too, & they are fine for what I need them for, just surely not as precise & quick for multi-shot strings as a 9 for sure.
I have 'em & there's not much sense in not using them too.
I don’t think think I can shoot the 40 as good as some others.
My line of thinking would come from the old days. Like doing traffic stops, it goes bad and you have to take2-3 shots from the hip at nose hair distances. At an individual that’s wearing layers of Carhart artic wear, who weighs 250 pounds and is drunk and pissed. I just feel better having more punch.

I think it would depend on bullets but rational thinking says a heavy 40 at the same speed would go deeper than a lighter 9 provided equal resistance.
All you he-men can pound your chest all you want. But if you think you can shoot a .40 to the same level you can a 9 you have no idea what you’re talking about.
I can, of course I need a larger handgun in the .40 S&W to do so and sometimes that's just fine.
If you need a bigger gun to shot a .40 just as well as a 9, then you can shoot a .40 as well as a 9.
