I'll throw back into the ring...
Speed does not kill. Impact kills. The force of the bullet has to transfer to the target to take your target down. You can kill with a .22 short if you know how to shoot. Wife's great uncle carried a .22 long as a side arm in WWII, he never told how many times it saved his life in combat and allowed the other guy to die for their country.
A .45 in Auto or Colt has LOTS of lead to stop your target. It will likely knock down your target. Yes, lots of recoil, it goes with the caliber. Larger frames absorb some of the recoil, heavier frames absorb recoil better.
I cannot stand the sound (as in audio signal) of a .40, but that is just me. Even a .380 makes enough noise to get peoples attention.
The goal is to place lead on your target without hurting anything in your backdrop/innocent bystander behind target (your wife, sister, mother, neighbor). I will always suggest using hollow points or some version there of. If the bullet does not stay in your target it will expend it's energy somewhere else. The goal should be to stay in your target.
Again, IF you need more than three rounds with your CCW you have a HUGE problem!!!
