I will wait a bit then I will post some stats on why a 9mm is a sissy round and you will not stop a human being with it

By you saying a 9mm will not stop a human being I seriously have doubts you even own a gun.
I have an idea. How about you let me shoot you with a 9mm or no how about a .22, just a single shot, after I have fired you are allowed to return fire with any caliber you choose.
I don't care who you are, a 9mm will kill you just the same as a .45 or .44 mag or whatever else you want to shoot. A fatal shot is a fatal shot. 9mm in self defense range (3-10 feet) will go right through bone and tissue, more so then some other rounds even.
"Knock down power" is BS, unless your shooting a cannon ball at the guy they will not be blown back through the air like the movies. All that matters is shot placement, I'll take a single well placed 9mm shot to a dozen spray and pray .45 rounds.
Not to mention the ability to make accurate follow up shots is important, most people using firearms for self defense are not properly trained to use the firearm. At the range I see all the time people shooting rapid and only the first shot even hits the paper, .40 is probably the worst round for this as its generally the most snappy.
And I am sure you will say some story about how your friends brothers wifes sisters friends mom shot some guy 10 times with a 9mm and he still kept coming at her, and thats why 9mm sucks...
I have friends that have spent a lot of time in Iraq and have seen guys shoot back at them after having limbs blown off and being shot with humvee mounted .50 machine guns.
Again I will say shot placement > caliber every time.
