In other words I dont think expanding bullets in pistol calibers are likely to stop aggression any quicker in the short term than a non-expanding one.
That being said jhp's are best for 9mm and similar power levels as long as they arent big-expanders that cut penetration heavily.
I respect your opinion but disagree. A larger wound channel allows more bleeding which leads to a faster incapacitation. Also a larger bullet has more potential to nick an artery or any Oregon near the bullet patch. Basically a .75 caliber bullet destroys more tissue than a .355 one.
