I think what's more important that the caliber of gun you carry is how well you shoot it and how confident you are with the weapon you're carrying. I carried .38 special revolvers and felt fine with them because I could hit what I aimed at. I have graduated to semi autos and I agree with those who feel that if they shoot well with the big caliber guns then they have an advantage in that one shot knock down power. I personally always feel kinda over gunned when I carry an 8 or 10 shot semi because I started out with 6 and 5 shooters and I always felt that they could handle the situation. We used to say that if you couldn't get the job done with 6 shots then you weren't going to get thet job done. A 9mm with the right load in competent hands will do the job, as will .38 or .40 or .45 under the same circumstance. Placement will always be more important that caliber. Just my humble opinion.
