Post .45 ACP Revolver for Concealed carry?

I have a long standing dislike for semi automatic pistols, even though I own several. After performing autopsies on several thousand gunshot wound victims over a 40+ year career as a forensic pathologist, I am most impressed with the .45 ACP round as a very efficient person stopper, especially considering it's "knock down" power.

After carrying several .38 &.357 magnum caliber concealed weapons, I have come to the conclusion that I should be carrying a .45 ACP weapon.

For those of you that do carry such a revolver, what are your recommendations? It must be a Smith & Wesson.

Many thanks for your advice!
