I scanned the document and it does not rule any caliber out, except perhaps the .22. It even seems to suggest that no handgun is a guaranteed stopper.

Elsewhere, to the extent that gelatin testing is valid, it shows .380 HP loads like Gold Dot and Hornady do cause significant damage. I can't CC my 1911 and a .45 pocket gun is probably uncontrollable for the average shooter (like me) so I'm going to have to stay with what I've got and make sure I put in the range time to be proficient with it, which I do.

Thanks for the link.
