I agree with you Palmetto, and usually stay away from these caliber threads, as they usually lead to people saying: "insert caliber" is useless/uneffective, or the I like "insert caliber" and it is the only one that will stop a bad guy. Or "keyboard" specialists that think "insert caliber" will "knock-down" bad guy right there. Usual words of wisdom is training and shot placement are key, a .50AE shot to the foot, probably isn't as effective as a .22lr shot to the heart/brain.

For the original poster, you have an advantage of having 3 of the most popular handgun calibers, which are widely available and with today's bullet technology, you can have a plethora of effective calibers for personal protection, as well as plinking/training. I would not feel under-gunned with either of them in my hand.

With that said I would go with .41 action express.
