I'll be using the .45 not because I think it's "better" than the others. But because I got such an amazing deal on the firearm and accessories that determined my caliber.
For Personal Defense, I still think a pistols primary role should be giving you time to acquire your shot gun. And as a backup while reloading the shotgun.
You and your GD shotgun.
Ultimately the answer you are going to get from everyone is pick whatever feels right to you. I would narrow it down to a style or brand of gun that fits your hand well, carries how you want it, fits your budget, and whatever other criteria you have. After that is decided shoot that model in all 3 sizes and select from there.
Whatever the tax payers buy for them.Ask the guys in Iraq what they would rather have a 9mm or a .45.
Even if the .45 JHP don't expand. Its still a .45 sized hole. Why would you want a nine silly meter anyways?
