I have never been in a gun fight nor do I want to be. Having said that if I was, I don't think my shooting would be as good as at the range i.e.breathing stance...... Therefore I would opt for a 40, 10, 45, or 357 mag or sig.
If your in the line of work to deal with/watch people, you will realize that there are some huge people out there. Some are just fat, others are well muscled. Some people are like twigs. The 9 might be fine sometimes but I don't think it's the best for every situation.
Right now my 10 is stoked with 125 grain fragmenting ammo.
