I carry 9mm Berretta here in IZ because that's what is issued. Some SF folks carry .45s as they're allowed flexibility. I'd much prefer the stopping power of a .45. I truly believe it's a moot point, though. Get shot by damned near any round and it'll stop your train of thought. Hit your target with the first round and most likely it will lose interest in you. As to my preference, I don't want my opponent to lose interest, I want him dead. That said, I also carry an M4 with seven, 30 round magazines any time I leave the FOB, because if they're close enough to reach with a pistol I'm in trouble.
Get what fits comfortably in your hand and practice with it. Unless you're gonna bust some caps, 6 or 17 rounds isn't going to make a difference. Smaller is cheaper, and easier to carry.
FWIW, I carry a Paslode framing gun when I'm home.
