I defer to his experience and expertise.
Obviously, it worked for him.

I know of a SE Asia vet, who considered the .45 and the 9mm the same, based on his experiences. He had to defend himself with a .45 one time, and with a 9mm another time. Based on his results they worked the same.

"I shot him twice, he fell down. Both times."

In my personal world, I don't worry about 9mm bullet performance, as the 9mm is not my defensive cartridge of choice. I have or have had Lugers, (P.08s), P.38, Broomhandle Mauser, and in those I generally shoot FMJ, either 115 or 124gr, NO +P, EVER, and have never tried any147s.

Use what ever works best for you.
