Jacknkoch,
I normally don't respond like this but I hate it when someone asks a sincere question and someone else gives some off the wall on-founded advice.
Are you living in isolation or are you trying to be funny.
A 45 ACP out of a 3.5" barrel will maybe break skin? Would you be will to put your money where your mouth is and let someone shoot you with a gun of those dimensions?Heck, let's do it from 30yds to make it more interesting.
I feel kind of silly even entertaining your comment.
People are stopped and dropped by short barrel 45ACP's all the time. More often by lesser calibers.
What I can't figure out is how a 230grn. 45ACP bullet that can barely penetrate skin can go through a steel drum and come out the other side from 15 yds away. I do this all the time.
Please keep advice to factual imformation, not nonsense. Researched and supported advice are what make this forum so good.
