Hence, my total agreement with Ryan about shot placement and actually hitting your target. A head shot should be fatal with any major caliber handgun round. However, it doesn't change the fact that bigger holes are better. This is especially true with ball ammo. And why the US military wants something with more stopping power than 124gr +P Nato ammo they currently find combat INEFFECTIVE. Civilians can use hollow points, which create bigger holes (and do not over penetrate). Still, all EVIDENCE (military, FBI, and other law enforcement) points to bigger being better. Given 13 rounds of .45APC or 17 rounds of 9mm, if you shoot like cop go with the 17 rds of 9mm. The rest of us are probably better off with the 13 rds of .45APC...
