Uh, no. What is closer to the conceded one shot stopper (the 125gr hollow point .357 magnum)?.. a standard pressure 9mm or a +P+ driving a premium 115gr HP or so? Which one is more very similar in ballistics to the .357? That was a rhetorical question.There is absolutely no need to go +P in 9mm (except for special applications). A modern round like Federal HST or Winchester RA9T drills a 13+ inch hole in ballistic gel (which exceeds FBI standards), very controllable with mild recoil, no wear on the gun and excellent suppression in 147gr.
If you have a reason to use +P (for example, if you shoot through windshields for a living) you might as well go .40 which was designed for police to begin with.
