Actually Jath, organs jostled by the TWC are generally elastic enough to not be permanently damaged by the shockwave produced by handgun-caliber rounds. That is why I was saying the whole "TWC profile = proof" thing is invalid. That shockwave is what can cause a psychological stop...or it can just hurt them (possibly anger them more) or it can be ignored completely. That is why I am saying that a comparison of PWC would be better when talking about handgun ammunition.
If you are point-blank, a 5-7 will have the velocity to produce an adequate TWC. A ways away, that wanes, and you essentially have a faster-moving .22. I would use a FiveseveN if they made one that fit what I want in a gun (DAO, no manual safety); my decision to not use one has nothing to do with the caliber. I do agree that in this case, the TWC is important, although still not as reliable as PWC.
A .357 magnum has a bigger TWC but the same PWC as 9mm for a lot more recoil and generally less capacity. For a reliable stop, the 9mm wins by offering quicker follow-up shots.
My Mom can make accurate shots with a 9mm, but not with a .45. Therefore, for her, the 9mm will do more damage. She can hit COM with the 9 (placement) but not very well with a .45. If you can hit accurately with the .45, it is better for COM shots, but equal for headshots.
