This topic comes up a lot lately. In short, depending on your budget & skill level, I'd suggest the HK45compact(LEM), the SIG Sauer; P220 carry DAK or the Glock 30/30SF with a NY+1 trigger.
A DA only system will avoid snags or annoying bumps. It can also prevent false claims of "cocking" the pistol hammer or firing by accident because of your fear or carelessness. These pistols are in use by many large LE agencies for these reasons.
As for ammunition; get the Speer Gold Dot 200gr JHP +P, the Corbon 230gr JHP +P, the Remington Golden Saber bonded JHP +P 230gr, Winchester Ranger T 230gr JHP; bonded, DoubleTap Ammo 230gr JHP +P or 200gr JHP. The Hornady Critical Defense, TAP and the Magsafe SWAT .45acp rounds could work well for limited uses(offices, hotels, hospitals, courts, etc).
