“The arguments boil down to this: The .45-caliber round is the bigger bullet, so it has the “knock down power” to neutralize any adversary with one shot; while pistols that fire 9mm rounds are generally more accurate and can carry more bullets. Where a bullet hits the human body is also a major factor on whether it inflicts a mortal wound.” - https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/ar...over-45-caliber-pistols-for-special-operators
The myths never seem to die. I think it was the excellent Primary and Secondary podcast (thanks YG for posting that) with DocGKR that I was listening to where he said that the DoD essentially ignored and buried the report on wound ballistics that he and a panel of experts wrote because it didn't fit with what their agenda.
