I voted for 9mm because overall being able to get back on target for shot #2 seems more important for the average shooter than the knockdown power of the shot.
My wife can shoot a 9mm and when I'm away that's what she keeps handy.
When I'm home, I keep a .44 Mag loaded with Glasers (don't want to kill a neighbor). That's knockdown power baby!
But I think the final word on home defense is a 12 ga. pump shotgun, hopefully the sound of working the action will scare off anybody with half a brain.
