Whose body armor? I’ve never been owned, or issued, body armor that wouldn’t stop a .40S&W easily. Common semi-auto pistol rounds are very easy to defeat.

Yuuppp.... Those two robbers in Miami, I think in 1976, was the moment when the FBI changed the game choosing a round that would do the job.I have no problems with carrying, shooting the 40. It must be some sort of alien conspiracy to get us all to stop carrying a round that is effective against their body armor...
I had a 40 once... Didn't hate it, only got rid of it to consolidate calibers... Figured that with 9mm and .45acp, what was the point?
My 2 cents: Shoot whatever pistol caliber makes you accurate (or confident/happy). Hits where you want 'em matter most (shot placement). The rest is a bit of luck, resolve of the adversary, physiology, and time. Not much different than the reactions deer have to various rifle bullets. Some drop right there, some run a mile.
