Large male attacker armed with big knife, mentally psychotic and high on meth.
At about 21 ft you get off one shot before firing pin breaks, mother of all jams...
Shot hits center of attackers chest, which bullet do you want it to be (only listed choices)
I say the .45...then the gun with remaining rounds weigh enough to throw and inflict injury...lol
Kind of hard to beat a big bore on a one to one shot. 9my might expand to .45 but the .45 is guaranteed to be .45.
Now if you you said I had three or even two I might change my answer.
Ironically, I voted for the 10mm Gold Dot 180 gr. (~1,150 fps)
which is the only listed caliber that I no longer own. My second choice is the .357 SIG and I have plenty of those.
21 feet is the minimum distance needed for the average officer to have enough time to draw and fire against an attacker, before attacker is on him / her.
Any closer and the odds of drawing and getting of a shot(s) before attacker makes contact becomes very unlikely.
About 2:46 into the video illustrates this reality (Although older, whole video worth watching).
All of those calibers will either stop or not stop entirely depending on shot placement. Period.
If anyone picks a caliber that is different from their carry caliber they need to reexamine things. Sometimes you will only get one shot even if nothing breaks.
I want the broken FP to fly out of the gun and zap him in the eye. That would make the best story.
