That's why for daily carry I prefer my Glock 17 9mm to any of my 45s. The G17 comes with a standard 17 round mag, compared to a standard 8 round mag in my G38. Couple the G17 with the extended mags and you've got 33 rounds before having to reload.

How many times would he have had to shoot him with a 9mm? The reason they used the .45 in WWII was because it had the needed stopping power. Sounds like head shots are what's needed if the body shots aren't working.

Usually it's people on PCP that can take those hits and keep fighting. Adrenaline, and training (muscle memory) can overcome a lot. There's soldiers who've taken direct head shots, dead instantly, who still manage to clear their weapons safe and hand them over to next soldier in the foxhole. Fact.
life is good.

I doubt the armed robber in the OP was on PCP, just highly motivated in a fight to the death. This video shows what usually happens but not always what happens so you cannot count on immediate effectiveness unless you manage to get a CNS disconnect. This guy was deadly for a full 15 seconds after he was shot multiple times.
