I own several handguns in .40 and .45 for defensive purposes, and unlike DRTY, I feel less felt recoil (and thus more accurate follow-up shots) with my .45s. Generally speaking, the downside to the .45 is that in equivalent handgun sizes, when compared to the .40, you're going to wind up with less capacity. I'm also pretty fond of my Sig Sauer 229 chambered in .357Sig.

P.S. Marinehawk and Paragon have given excellent advice thus far, be sure you're not just skimming through their posts if you are serious about carrying a handgun.

Ahh, but there is now the Springfield XD .45 ACP that I want to go molest. Good ole .45ACP but with 14 round capacity.
American Rifleman will name it handgun of the year tomorrow.
