It isn’t that simple.

Don’t worry about stopping power. A modern 9mm defensive round (Gold Dot, Ranger etc) will do the job.

Keep in mind that the US military cannot use rounds like these and that is why they want to move back to the 45. They are stuck with FMJ rounds which do not perform well - little to no expansion.

Jeff Cooper used to say something to the effect of - the purpose of a handgun is as a tool to be used until you you can get to your rifle.

There is no such thing a a handgun with “stopping power”. This implies that a hit anywhere will stop a threat instantly. This only happens if the neurological system is totally disrupted (i.e. a head shot). If you truely want “stopping power”, Give Ron Barrett a call with $12000 available on your credit card. Ask about the model 85A.
