They all have well designed self defense ammo available today, so all could be good.
I carried a 1911 around the farm, checking fences, stand sights, etc. Would plink with the 45 using ball. Kept running into the same sow and cubs. Decided to look for a std vel flat nose fmj load to plink, that would drive straight through her skull, should she decide to bowl me over. Winchester marketed a 1911 practice load that was flat nosed. I tested it against ball, shooting through skulls and shoulders of cattle, pails of water, wet phonebooks, etc. It worked, where ball would not work.
Not a dedicated hunting load, but great plinker that penetrates.
