9 mm has better penetration, 45 is bigger and more powerful. so it depends on your needs. which, for a pistol, unless you want to kill ppl, you don't have any. and if you do, please give me your name and address so i may alert the police. i think it depends on the situation if im gonna have to shoot a couple of different people rapidly i want a 9mm more control but if im at home where odds are it just one person breaking in i want the power from the 45 but you lose of control

What is better 9mm or 45 calibre?
The 9mm came into popularity because of it's high capacity magazines which hold between 15-20 rounds where a .45 holds between 7-10. the .45 fires a 185-230 grain bullet, the 9mm about half that. The stopping power of the 9mm is minimal compared to the .45. The bullet diameters are .45 inch and .38 inch. The 9mm is less expensive to shoot and recoil is minimal which makes it a good choice for target shooting, the .45 is a little more costly to shoot and has a bit more recoil. It would also depend on what you want it for, to shoot target and such the 9mm will do it for you, for defence I would take the .45 over the 9mm alrhough the 9mm is a fair defence piece. they both have their points, Good luck choosing......

There is no right answer to this question.Its like asking: "Which is the fastest race car?" A dragster may be fastest on straight-aways, while Formula-1 or Indy car is fastest on a course that has turns."With regards to 9mm vs .45 ACP, there are pros & cons to each:9mm: usually holds 14 or more rounds, less recoil, greater variety of ammo,45 ACP: better target penetration, more target damage, [heavy recoil, low capacity]Spending time at the shooting range firing a 9mm and a 45 will help you decide which is best for you. I personally prefer the 45, but mine can only hold 7-8 rounds. They do make larger capacity 45 handguns, but the diameter of the grip is too large for my hands.You can also consider the .40 SW (~10mm short), which basically falls in between the 9mm (.355 cal) and the .45 ACP (~11.43mm).

The actual power of any given cartridge is based on speed and weight of the bullet. There are multiple different loads for the 9mm Parabellum, and for the .45 ACP.
