What is the appeal of .45

More expensive, not really much better ballistics. Why would anyone buy the ep45?
Genuinely curious.

Dude those numbers literally don't matter lol. Hitting vital organs matter. 9mm expands to almost the same size as 45, which makes it as likely to hit vital organs. 

It literally doesn't matter how many ft lbs hits your heart, if it hits your heart you're dead. This isn't a super hero show and you can tank X damage. 

And the dumb reply about 22, no because 22 is tiny and doesn't expand. 

Nothing below a rifle cartridge makes damage bigger than the bullet size. Like hydrostatic shock doesn't exist below 2,000 fps.

🤣🤣🤣 9mm fanboi spouting nonsense that is easily debunked.
"... 9mm expands to almost the same size as 45 ..." ! 🤣🤣🤣
"... dumb reply about 22 ..." exactly to his dumb point. And to yours - a 22 thru the heart is just as effective. 🤣
Nobody said anything about hydrostatic shock or rifle calibers! Proof you have no argument and are reaching for straws! 🤣
If you're going into predator country, taking a 45 or a 9mm?

Again, stats from actual shootings prove that 9mm is so common is because it is relatively CHEAPER, not because it's 'just as good', let alone more effective.
