According to both 3G and the Kemira-Vihtavouri reloading guide
9mm Parabellum vary between 337 Joule and 500 Joule and .45 ACP between
470 Joule and 506 Joule, so it is definately wrong to say that a 9mm has
significantly lower energy than a .45
Short nines (makarov, .380 ACP and so on) however is a different story.
