everyone knows its the fat man chasing you down the street.

but who cares, why is this so important to you? A 36 caliber round ball will do the trick as well, dead is dead.
Most underviewed video ever! ;-)
You are likely referring to JHP in a 1911, a gun designed before JHP became a thing. With the modern guns like the RP9 vs the RP45, both modern designs with JHP a major consideration, I think your reliability argument goes away. Don't want to use the Remington Plastic, try G17 and G21 or XD9 and XD45.I see I stirred up a snowflake. It's not that important to me, 9mm and .45 are both underpowered peashooters. The 9mm at super sonic speeds (yes, not much faster than the .45) performs a little more reliably with JHPs.

But people need to face today's facts: the 45 ACP cartridge is over 100 years old, and is clearly now obsolete.
I do have one truly short 2.5" barrel on my Charter Arms Pitbull in 45 ACP. I have a XD45 SC Mod 2 with a 3.3" barrel, XDS45 with a 3.3" barrel, S&W Shield with a 3.3" barrel and a RIA Officer's Model 1911 with a 3.5" barrel. My only 'normal' length is 5" on my Ruger 1911. I would say most of my 45's are short barreled for carry
Exactly, if the 45 is outdated and obsolete, then so is the 9. Most all pistol cartridges do well from a 5 inch barrel. While brilliant muzzle flash may impress a mentally challenged neophyte, it is only a sign of wasted energy. I recall a study with 38 special where 100 fps was lost for every inch removed from a barrel, iirc they started with a six inch barrel. I would expect similar losses from other calibers. While some may love a "snubby", I have never had much use for them, not very accurate for me. So after owning several and being dissatisfied, I gave up on them.
What the heck does "works better" mean anyway?
btw the 30 luger and the 9 mm were both offered in the P08, in fact sig sauer offered the 220 in european models in 30 luger. The reason for that being, civilians couldnt own guns in " military" calibers.
Actually a pretty cool little round, speedy with low recoil. Kinda surprised it hasnt had a resurgence as a "pocket pistol" round.
Why don't you have her twin sister with you?My AIWB EDC maximizes the .45 ACP's performance. Even a 5" barrel yields sub par performance to this bad boy.

Lastly, to that fool in the video. My 1767 Rev War Brown Bess in .75 Cal is an" obsolete round" too. Nobody would be willing to stand downrange and test that theory!
Do they just give you that blank look? Cause that's what I geti've always said this to anyone who debates any caliber vs caliber. Go stand down range and report back how ineffective it is.
