I find it humorous that Col. Cooper is quoted here in this thread because he is one of the most outspoken advocates about the stopping power of the 45 ACP. That being said Col. Cooper has also stated "a shot to the tear duct with a 22lr is better than a near miss with a 50 BMG". So I personally feel that my Kimber Pro BP TenII .45 ACP loaded with 200gr Hornady XTP's better serves me than a 9mm because I shoot it very well and handle it well. But someone who is deadly accurate with a 9mm or whatever they like should use it because they can shoot it well. Accuracy kills not near misses with horsepower.
