Former gun dealer here.
When we are talking carry, the choices above really don't give a good representation.
The .22 doesn't have the take down power. The .380 (like a keltec) is a great concealed piece, but it's essentially a low powered 9mm.
The 9mm is "snappish" but you get a lot of rounds in a magazine (15-17) compared to the 7+1 of the 1911 .45.
The .45acp is the defining standard of take down power though. It's a slow big bullet, which when people get hit, they fall down, and bleed to death.
One caliber not show, which others have mentioned is the .40 S&W. It's the best of both worlds, between the .45 & the 9mm.
In a stressful situation, chances are you are going to get 1/3 of your rounds on target (police data shows that), at under 7 yards. More bullets is better. Bigger bullets are also going to be better over all.
I was predominantly in the DC area, so the .40 was the more popular choice (FBI, DEA etc.), but only slightly so. My personal carry piece is a .45, but that is just the one I am most proficient with.

I carry a Military .45 for the punch it packs. It is a large carry piece, but it puts my mind at ease.
