You were talking 9mm and 40 in this thread, not 22lr, 25 acp, 32 acp; so, you believe there is a difference, unless you changed your mind since your prior posts in this thread.
With proper shot placement and penetration, caliber and bullet type doesn't matter much when it comes to stopping a threat is my point, whether it's JHP or FMJ.
First, you do know what "in general" means correct? It means "usually" not all the time. Next, I did not say there wasn't a difference between different calibers, as you're attempting to frame it. What I did say is there's not much difference between common handgun calibers IF they have similar penetration and shot placement. You're ignoring the second part of what I stated.
With regards to my mindset of wanting to carry a 10mm and 44mag for humans, my mind did change. With regards to carrying JHP, my mind was changed. I no longer believe that expensive JHP is required to stop a threat granted the penetration and shot placement are the same. I no longer believe that it matters much whether I EDC 10mm or 45acp or 9mm granted I the bullet penetrates to a similar depth at the same spot on the target.
