I would say that if given the choice that caliber might even take a back seat to the platform. I for one am not a fan of the M9 in any way shape or form. That if all of a sudden given the opportunity for a 9mm Glock 17 or 19 vs. a 45ACP 92F clone. I would pick the 17 or 19, couple this with better bullets (147gr TAPs) to me the 9mm glock wins hands down. (so I can see if having this conversation and it followed that path how one could draw the conclusion)
Lethality is directly related to shot placement, in my civilian job I have seen a patient DRT from one .22LR off the left margin of the sternum in the 5th ICS. So you could say that follow on shots from a rack grade 9mm would be easier than a rack grade 45 acp platform.
But if USSOCOM said hey what do you want, no restrictions, blank check. It's going to be a 45 ACP, and very likely a wilson combat at that.
