This has probably been discussed ad nauseum, but I got in a discussion with a another person a few days ago and he was like "if you shoot someone with a 9mm, you'll just piss them off, you need to shoot them with a 45".
Right away I knew he was FOS.
People need to realize that the 45ACP is a low speed. low pressure round. Yes, it's big, but it only travels ~850fps while 9mm travels ~1300fps.
What this all translates to is the 45ACP and 9mm have roughly the same energy upon impact.
Well, the FOS guy refused to believe me, so I guess he can be in his ignorant bliss.
I own 3 45ACP pistols and 5 9mm pistols so I am not biased towards either.
