"The Rule of Fives'
Unless you're going to war, the reading I've done/conventional wisdom/urban legend suggests that most gunfights occur at 5 yards or less, firing 5 rounds or less, and are over in 5 seconds or less.
And as noted, shot placement has a whole lot more to do with the outcome than caliber, e.g. a hit with a .22 counts more than a miss with a .45. I am entirely comfortable with a 9mm, and it is what I carry most often.
Shoot what you shoot well, and practice regularly, thus endeth the sermon.
