I believe its .40 S&W or .45 ACP. Pros & Cons to both, trade off in ammunition capacity, recoil severity, etc....
Comes down to personal preference. FBI is keen on the 40 S&W. Most 40s will have a larger capacity than 45s. Go to a range that rents guns, and see which you prefer. At this point, its about personal preference more so than effectiveness (they both are good defensive rounds).

What is more powerful 40 or 45?
.40 is the more powerful ---------- I would have to beg to differ on that one. The highest energy .40 S&W round produces 500 ft/lb... that's the 155 grain Guardian Gold @ 1205 fps. The 200 grain Speer Gold Dot in .45 ACP produces 518 ft/lbs, while the 185 grain bonded defense produces 616 ft/lbs. So sure, there are some .40 loads which produce more energy than some .45 ACP loads, but overall? No.
