I located the original video and have restored it for your education. Conflict avoidance is the best way to survive. Pumping a few shots into someone does not always incapacitate!
In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

There is VERY LITTLE difference between a .35 caliber (9mm) round and a .40 or .45 caliber round. You're only talking a .10" difference in a 9mm and .45 round. Is that .10" difference really going to mean anything in a dynamic gunfight? No, it isn't.
Personally, I think you're far better off to carry a 9mm pistol over other calibers for the same reason that the FBI and most police departments have gone back to it; they're easier to shoot, they carry more rounds, faster follow-up shots, they're less-expensive and they're available almost anywhere in the world.
Pistol rounds are deadlier than they've ever been (due to bullet design technology) but they still aren't deadly enough.
As always, successive/multiple hits in a vital area (head/heart) are what stops a violent criminal's actions, not any particular pistol caliber.
Thank you!
