Shooting steel plates has nothing nada to do with stopping power. Yes the 45 has more momentium than the 40 sw and 357 sig so what. Energy and stretch cavity is what stops not steel knocking over ability. Also the actual stat for lethal handgun shootings is 25% and 75% for rifles. ALso who cares if the guy dies or not I want him to stop. If he dies thats another issue. The 45 is a good round but its no better than a 40 or 357 sig and its only a little better than a good 9mm load. The 45 will not stop them cold in their tracks all the time. In fact like most handgun rounds its very lackluster at stopping a determined attacker. I know of one good cop who died after putting 4 rounds of 45 into a rifle armed sucidal subject who wanted to take some cops with him. Don't bs me about the Hammer of thor its more like a trim hammer.
