I like and shoot all 3 calibers...with todays bullet technology, the stopping power and expansion rates place each at the top of their significance. If I had to put them in some kind of order,my preference would be...The 9mm 1st followed by the .45 then the .40 cal. because, for me, it comes down to cost and accuracy. It seems I'm most accurate with the 9mm, probably due to the soft recoil. However, when it comes to 'pure stopping power damage' give me a .45 caliber any day - then a .40 cal and then the 9mm. In truth, shot placement is everything and whichever gives you the greater advantage is the better gun for anyone; in that regard.
Bottom line: If cost played no role in a purchase, I'd select the .45 cal simply because of what it can do. If I'm going to shoot someone...then that person is either an immediate death threat to me, or a loved one, or someone else and if that person as so little regard for another's life then I will have very little regard for theirs! When I shoot someone with a .45 cal I know I am going to do some real DAMAGE to them!
My personal choice: the Taurus Millennium PRO-111 in .45 caliber for it's an awesome piece.
