The flash and bang out of a 45 should, or could, be nearly twice that of a 9mm, due to the case capacity difference.

Tamara: I was thinking of a very specific instance: the 500 S&@, using near or over 700 grain bullets, in stock barrels. See John Ross about stabilizing such bullets.

And, not really quantifiable, or maybe not adequately explained is the geometric effect, or appearance of effect, when you start moving 260 grain or heavier bullets, in 45 or larger calibers, at 1200 fps, or more, in a handgun.

Even ft-lbs of energy don't quantify the wound channel photos, and observations of effect, out of a handgun...
