Both are important but I have heard arguments on both sides. I have a friend that carries a .22 derringer because it can be hidden anywhere and he says any hole you are not born with will stop you.

I've witnessed with my own eyes an extremely high teenager tumble down concrete steps breaking a couple things, then get up and run away assaulting a vehicle on the way out the yard. Argument for stopping power.

Another argument in this would be rounds. I can get a .40 or .45 in the same frame as my EDC a smith 9C but if I miss a few times with the 45 I'm spent, I get more rounds with a 9.

I think a 9MM is about perfect blend. No it won't knock an elephant down but does have quite an impact.

Though mine isn't nearly as gnarly as yours, I use hollow point defense ammo at home in case someone is standing in front of one of my kids. They may get splattered with large chunks of skull and brain matter which in itself will scar them for life but there is a good chance they will not get hit with the projectile.
