Meanwhile, you mentioned that your split time differences between 9mm and .45 don't measure in seconds. I never said they did. I said there is a difference. Go to an IDPA match (since IDPA does not use Power Factor) or a GSSF match (ditto); compare the number of serious competitors who use .45 to the number using 9mm. The 9mm numbers far outweigh the .45 numbers. Why? Better scores... usually much better scores.
Self defense and competition aren't the same thing.

The .45 is not the Hammer of Thor. Neither is the .40.

I've read at least two accounts of people who survived 5-6 chest hits from .357's. One was a large, obese man, but the other was a reasonably small female. So the .357 is not the Hammer of Thor.
I don't seem to remember using the Hammer of Thor reference. Nor do I even seem to remember saying that 40 or 45 is more effective than 9.

Also, once again. What I made is a GENERAL STATEMENT. If I am talking to you specifically, I will use quotes, like I did above. My God people get butt hurt quickly.
