Firefly, My EDC is a G19, or a G43 if t-shirt and shorts weather. Over the years I've carried 357Mag, 9mm, 40S&W, 357Sig and 45ACP. With the new bullet technologies, 9mm is a good choice for me. I no longer carry professionally but I take it seriously and I try to shoot at minimum once per month, but sometimes I shoot every week. I usually shoot 250 rounds per session sometimes more. With 15 + 1 in my 19 and a spare mag, I don't feel under gunned. I do feel undergunned with the 43's capacity so I have a +1 extension on the primary mag and a + 2 extension on the spare. (I recently picked up a 365 and I'm in the process of vetting it now.)
ETA: I think that training and basic marksmanship are more of a core issue here than one caliber vs another.
