The .45 is like the lottery, a tax on people who are bad at math.
Force is mass times the square of velocity. The 9mm is MUCH higher velocity
than the .45 with insignificantly less mass. The 9mm simply has more stopping
power with less recoil and weight than the .45.
.44 Mag has PLENTY of stopping power, more than the .50 IIRC but it also has
PLENTY of recoil unless you've got a heavy gun or some sort of recoil reducing
device.
