There is one shot you can make in which the receiver of said bullet will drop immediately... this is a shot to the spine. Mobsters used to use muzzled .22's to the back of the neck to take a guy out. So is the .22 the best choice out there? Hardly.
Shot placement, and energy of the round are the two most important factors.
Now, based on recoil, this becomes a personal decision as to which gun feels best to you and that you can control the best in order to get the shot placement you need.
+1 to tricolordad for the link.
What do you mean by "drop?" I think you should clarify. I shot to the spine in the lower back will definitely "drop" an attacker but it will not incapacitate him. A person unable to walk is still very able to shoot back. The only shot that instantly incapacitate an attacker is a shot to the brain stem or the top roughly 10% of the spine.
I agree with everything else you said and I'm sure you knew what you're talking about I just thought clarification was needed.
I would like to hear opinions and recommendations for particular concealed carry guns. Right now, I have a Kel-Tec P-32, but I feel safer with my Smith & Wesson 642 revolver, (won't jam but bulky), or even my Glock 9mm, (such a good rep for not jamming but awfully big for concealed carry on my person.
