Okay I will, I'll do some digging and provide the link. Basically its the same deal as why the M16 was adopted. Nothing talks better than Money
Any pistol round (and rifle rounds as well) are not one shot drop rounds contrary to popular belief. Anything other than severing the brain stem will not result in immediate death.

I'm not saying its a one shot drop, I was just saying its a lot more effective, bigger round traveling slower, does more damage even if it is FMJ. As the 45 has the tendency to tumble upon impact, there is no such thing as one shot instant kills with pistols or rifles unless you sever the brain stem. All I was trying to say is your gonna slow them down more. Also M16 was also adopted because of campaign contributions i.e money, but the "no maintenance" was also a huge factor.
