I have a choice of various calibres (.22, .357 mag, 44 mag), but prefer the .45 ACP as my first choice for personal defense. Accuracy is not the issue...it's the simple physics of mass & velocity, and I'll opt for a large calibre (knockdown, "take 'em out" capabilities) vs. velocity anyday (PARTICULARLY on a "non-lethal" torso shot to an intruder). The safety aspects (i.e. not passing through several walls, etc.) before dissipating lethal energy is part of the equation too.
