Your specific and/or situational applications should be the second factor in caliber choice as a .40 cal will perform better at 60 meters than a .45 - though a .45 will transfer more energy/knockdown at 10 meters. In a true CQB tactical application I prefer a .45 cal on a 1911 frame (Kimber) or a Sig P220. For general all purpose type CCW I prefer a Sig P239 in .40cal - reliable, safe and lightweight.
60 meters???? LOL You will NEVER shoot anything at 60 meters with ANY pistol. 90% of self defense shotting happen at 22ft. or less.
