How is the stopping power of 9mm relative to the .38?

As well the US Military have just put out a notice that they want to return to the .45 ACP round again. The 9mm that they accepted when they dumped the 1911 .45 just has not worked and it only took 20 years for them to figure this out.
Nothing wrong with a good working 1911 and a shotgun for home defence.
