If it was the same sized gun I'd take the .45 easily. But if it was the bestest CCW .45 vs 9mm I'm gonna have to go 9mm. The size of the package, controllability, and capacity make that decision for me. Using a heavy-for-caliber 147gr such as HST seals the deal. With the spate of rioting last summer still fresh in my mind, I have been re-examining the capacity issue with CCW choices. A Glock 43X with Shield Arms 15rd mags is hard to beat.
The .45 ACP is far from obsolete. However, the intended use and all that it entails relegates it (to me anyway) to a duty-size platform.
As always, YMMV.
