In lieu of any substantive info about ammo type as it relates to personal defense I went ahead and formed my own "workable metric". I call it Cosmo's Rating of Ammo Performance (as it may or may not apply to personal defense) you may call it CRAP. Please accept this post in the spirit in which it was written; fun.
.32/.380 - No way, no how!
.38Spl - Still not enough.
.357Sig - OK for Europeans but too weird for US
.357Mag. - Too much to shoot well.
9mm - Too little...or maybe too much.
.40S&W - Too expensive not to go with .45!
.44Spl/.44 Mag - There's only one "Dirty Harry"
.45ACP - Too much...or maybe too little.
.45Colt - For cowboys only.
.454/.460 - Don't go there!
.500 - CUT IT OUT!

Don't kick me out, I need a hobby!

I'd only add, once written and posted, then be sure to use OKF's directions!

For self defense against an assailant, accurately apply projectiles as needed.

Don't become caught up in the relative effectiveness of handgun cartridges or loads.

Personally I'm satisfied that anything from 38 Special/9mm on up will do a reasonable job while realizing that no handgun is to be relied upon as a one shot stopper.
