Heavy bullets go deeper. If they open up and retain their weight like HST's and Ranger's, they do a lot more damage which means faster incapacitation.

In .40, I really like the new HST 180 gr. They seem milder shooting than the 165 Ranger's I was using and according to the tests they have seen, the OCSD range staff says they really open up nicely.
I did own a 9mm.

When my 9 milli wouldn't knock down the plates and pepperpots while shooting IPSC, I had to stop and wonder if it would effectively knock down a Bad Guy.

Thats when I took CCWI's advice...and I bought a Kimber!

Now I can knock down steel plates and pepperpots til the cows come home
