And yet you demand empirical evidence that bigger bullets work better at stopping threats, lol

That was my point. I don't even contend that follow up shots are as fast with .45, just that the difference is small enough that one shooter may be faster with a 1911 in .45 than a Glock 17 in 9mm because of basic platform mechanism differences, and how They fit the shooter. Obviously a 9mm 1911 will be slightly faster than a .45 1911... but you can't prove that .04 or .05 second faster shot is worth more than double the momentum with similar k/e, and .94 larger diameter at first impact. My whole point is the "follow up shot advantage" of 9mm is greatly overplayed. I used to believe this was more significant of an advantage for 9mm before I actually measured it. I have measured it. It's not much faster. So much so that a human being without a shot timer could not tell that the difference between the two calibers in skilled hands.
