Modern 9mm can be very zippy. Buffalo Bore has "+P+" 9mm that's advertised at 500 ft/lb & 1400 ft/sec, hardly "anemic", close to my favorite 357 Sig load, 125gr Speer gold dot.

There are other 9mm offerings that also approach and in some cases exceed .45 in ft/lb, traveling much faster.

Interesting ballistics data for handguns and rifles:

The much greater concern is a missed shot that hits an unintended target.

In addition, if there was a pass through shot that harmed an bystander, it would be a very far fetched legal argument, even in today's litigious environment, that the shot was caused by negligence etc.

Missing a shot altogether however and hitting someone else, now that's a different proposition.
