I've found this formula it in the Quantitative Ammunition Selection book, and made a spreadsheet out of it.
Not sure how accurate it is, but seems to be good enough. It should work for handgun ammo only, I think.

Here is the link (just download the document and try different parameters)

Some results from this model, made for popular calibers:
TT-33 pistol (7.62mm 5.5g bullet @ 502 m/s) 5.73mm penetration
9x19 Para (.355in 124gr bullet @ 360m/s) 2.96mm penetration
.45 ACP (.452in 230gr bullet @ 830fps) 1.51mm penetration
