.40 has been proven to be the best all around. Theres a reason the fbi and most police use it. The .40 is atleast equall to the .45 in power. It has better penetration and more ammo capacity. The very small advantage the .45 has in size it loses in wound channel because of the increase in hydrostatic shock and penetration of the .40. In reality it doesnt matter if either one is loaded with a good hp. In my opinion the .40 out performs the .45 in almost every way. I would pick the 9mm over either one and practice alot and focus on shot placement.
