There's been a lot of mention of the .410 Judge..... great choice but try to find one! My local shop said that there are more than 100,000 on back order!
Anyway, Tuga,
Shot placement is of primary concern. A large bullet does no good if it misses it's target and has the potential to do great harm.
A .40 or .45 can be difficult to control for a novice, and especially if you want a barrel length short enough for easy concealed carry.
Find a range that will let you rent several hand guns to try out. You want to feel comfortable and accurate.
I carry a Kahr K9 9mm. It fits nicely in my hand and is very accurate and reliable. I will sometimes carry a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 auto. This gun is very concealable but can be a bit of a challenge to shoot. Up close and personal is still no problem, though.
I also have a Browning BDM in 9mm. Another very comfortable and accurate gun but much more difficult to conceal.
My advice is to take the time to find the right combination for your intended carry and ability to shoot comfortably and accurately.
One of my friends presented me with a "congratulations on your bus house-warming gift"....... an M1 Carbine......much better than a bottle of wine!
