Energy doesn't always translate directly to real-world effectiveness. Current thinking among many experts is that the differences between the effectness of the 9mm vs .40 vs .45 is less than previously thought, especially when using quality modern hollowpoints. For example, Massad Ayoob used to be seen carrying a 1911 more than anything else; now he's more likely to be carrying a 9mm.
