A well placed 9mm will be just as effective as a poorly placed .45acp. Many people can shoot the 9mm faster, with faster follow up shots because they produce less recoil. Assuming you hit the bad guy in a vital area with your first shot from a .45acp, then yes, you could argue it will likely have greater effectiveness. But that's a big IF!
Most .45acp handguns tend to be large and heavy. Those that aren't tend to be very hard for most people to control. Usually you will have to fire more than one shot. So all of the internet commando's that brag about their one shot stopping power, will actually miss 75% of the time. The FBI determined that only 20% of law enforcement shootings were over in just one shot. That means a lot of missing takes place.
That XD sub is pretty bulky, IMO.
