Every single study to date shows that the bigger the hole the faster the bleed out. Now that said, I think as Ryan said, shot placement counts. Is a 9mm hollow point better than a .45ACP ball, yes, because the hole is bigger. But given a .45ACP hollow point there is no contest.
I don't think you can go wrong with 9mm... but hey, get hollow points. The Guard Dog rounds work great. I also like the 9mm 124 gr. +P rounds.
Per Rob, the hole size is that much more if you can make more holes. My XDM 9 has 19 round mags, and my 45 has 13. Having 6 extra shot is huge. I think i'll do prove that at this weekends CCL skills and Drills.
