State trappers in West Texas are required to kill lions caught in steel traps with a 22 LR via heart shot. These lions are loose with a steel trap usually hanging off of one foot with about 8' chain. Usually they are not in a good mood when you find them and you could be lunch but I've never known it to happen. The 9mm I don't think would provide an instant kill but it beats a 22 LR by a lot.
