I love it when the medical examiners on TV look at the wound, and state.. this came from a 9mm.
Yes, because they already ruled out a .380, .38, .38 spl, and .38 super...lol

I'm a really bad shot so I'm going to start carrying a Kel-Tec PMR-30. That way I can miss 30+1 times instead 5,6,7+1,8+1, etc.
Have you considered a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-Watt range?
For what it's worth, during my law enforcement career I personally observed and investigated far too many failures of the .38/9mm class guns to carry them as my main combat handgun. I consider them fit only in a BUG capacity.
My personal carry guns includes wheel guns and self-loaders starting with .41 Magnum through .44 Magnum and .45ACP.
I should probably just nuke things from orbit.

My concern is that for years I have always heard that 9s do not quit carry enough "punch" and I am used to "umph" of a .357. I want a round that, should I ever have to use my weapon, the bad guy will know that he has been shot immediately.

The energy difference between common handgun calibers is really not worth debating. You would need to step up to something fairly "nuts" to up your muzzle energy appreciably, and even then, it is laughably small compared to a rifle. Carry a quality round, in a reliable handgun, and get shots on target.
