Beg to differ on a couple of points. Big difference between a 9 and a 45, Hollow point ammo is great if the subject is lightly clothed or has little muscle mass. You get some big guy with a leather jacket on, that hollow point 9 will shatter before it can get to the vitals, where as that 45 will do a much better job of penetrating.
Placement, placement, placement sounds great but in a real world situation probably not going to happen, that's where the large caliber makes up the difference, you could hit him in the arm with the 45 and he may bleed to death. You could probably hit the guy in the eye with a pellet gun and stop the attack if you were really good at placement. Bigger is always better. 380 is a joke , you could probably catch that round in a baseball glove.
1 more point, if everyone has on shorts and t shirts, and this 1 guy has baggy clothing on, a yup he's got a gun.
