Which has more stopping power 9mm or .40 Caliber

I'm probably going to get the terminology wrong but there is a difference between lethality and incapacitation. During "The Miami Shootout" one of the robbers (Platte I THINK) received a lethal wound. Apparently the damage done was so severe that he would have died if he'd been on the operating table when he was shot.

Even so in the time it took for the wound to kill him he was able to stay in the fight and kill at least one agent

Correct.
Michael Platt(?) took a nine millimeter Winchester 115 grain SilverTip through his bicep, into his chest and stopping just shy of his heart.
The round did exactly what it was designed to do and Platt suffered a non recoverable wound.
The problem for the Feds was that the round didn't stop Platt.. that man was running on pure adrenaline!

The deference is about 10-15 years on your sentence.

40 gets my vote, makes a bigger hole

I'll stick with my .45.....
