Do you really need that much stopping power to keep yourself from being a victim?

Yes. The proper weapon for defense is that which provides the highest chance of incapacitating the attacker in the fastest way possible. a .45 hollow point has a 98% chance (off the top of my head, might be a bit off,) of causing sufficient neural shock to incapacitate an attacker with one shot. If I am defending myself against an armed assailant, I want the most stopping power possible.
edit: if you want more info, check the .45 acp and .40 vs. .45 threads in weaponry. There's a lot of useful information in there.
