Read the FBI report which argues this point quite well:

Sadly, the 9mm has proven its effectiveness on many, many occasions.
The V Tech shooter killed 32 people with a .22-caliber Walther P22 and
a 9 mm semi-automatic Glock 19.
Oh yeah, I forgot the V-Tech shooting completely. Help me remember, what
were they shooting back?
What drove the FBI, DEA, ICE, SF, and other LE and Military
communities to bigger, faster cartridges was the requirement to shoot
through glass, car doors, etc and to take down perps high on PCP,
Meth, etc.
If those situations are in your mission profile, get something big and
fast.
Oh yeah, and we will never have to shoot dopers in self defense.
But MOST civilians don't have this threat as part of their normal
lives.
Yeah, if they are just shooting targets, they could use a 9mm or a Daisy.
Thus what really matters is your mission profile -- your own
capabilities, your exposure, your risks, your local jursidiction
requirements, etc.
No, what really matters is your medication. Now go take it.
