the .45 will go through walls. I assure you that even a JHP will go through 4+ walls with ease.
Check out
www.theboxotruth.com, I believe he even tests with a 200gr JHP .45.
Shotgun with 00 or 000 is still king for close quarters protection. Pretty hard to miss with a shottie too.

the .45 will NOT tumble unless it hits something with some good mass to it.
Any common pistol round may or may not endanger the 99 in a crowd of 100 depending where you hit the first person.
