Shot placement is far more important than this data!

Did you conveniently leave off Double Tap 115+P? If you are going to compared the lightest, highest energy .45 load to 9mm, might as well do the same for 9mm, but instead you chose the weakest energy load!?!!
115+P JHP Speer Gold Dot: MV=1415 fps, ME=511 ft/#
And that is out of a Glock 17 with a 4.5" barrel whereas most .45 energy figures are out of fullsize 5" barreled 1911's.
