it's an endless source of debate, but there seems more to it than
calculating simple force
i tend to be in the big and slow camp. 230grain hollowpoint .45
ACP is my choice for carry. in terms of a defensive handgun, my
thought is .45 ACP or .357 magnum
i just got the casull to be stupid. i do intend to get proficient
with it though, but i don't imagine it will ever be a practical
defensive weapon

The .45 is like the lottery, a tax on people who are bad at math.
Force is mass times the square of velocity. The 9mm is MUCH higher
velocity than the .45 with insignificantly less mass. The 9mm simply
has more stopping power with less recoil and weight than the .45.
.44 Mag has PLENTY of stopping power, more than the .50 IIRC but it
also has PLENTY of recoil unless you've got a heavy gun or some sort
of recoil reducing device.
