I hate to say it, but the pistol caliber argument boils down to sub vs supersonic. .45 isn't doing much more than a 9mm except creating a .07" larger hole. I'd argue a .45 is also a big drawback because of capacity. The arm-chair scientist in me argues that 9mm 115 gr +P+ is one of the best man killer rounds available. Of course, 10mm 150 gr would be a more devastating single round, but your follow up shots will slow down and you'll be sacrificing capacity- when it comes down to your pistol, the numbers game may be important. If you want to get wild with calibers, .357 Sig in 115 gr is a pretty nasty setup- as you can see, i prefer velocity.
Hydrostatic shock is the name of the game, if you ask me. Faster is almost always better, look at the performance people are getting out of the .243 Win. Devastating termal effects.
But anyway, for my pick. Glock 34 with 115 gr +P+.
