IMO it's pretty much a tossup. Both carry similar levels of muzzle energy so in terms of power they are nearly equal. I chose to carry the 40 because with a +1 mag kit it allows me to carry 9 rounds in my Sig P239, which is compact enough to be easily concealed. If I carried a 45 that wouldn't be the case. However, I normally warm up in a range session with 45ACP in my 625 because the recoil is very similar to the P239 and it allows me to get lots of trigger time in double action.
