Have killed a lot of deer. Long ago figured out that it doesn't take a cannon to kill a deer. Shoot a decent round. Put the shot into the deer where it will do the job. Get the 4WD and head for the cooler!

Have never shot two-legged anything. Never want to. But, average two legged critter is no tougher than a deer. Most ... not anywhere near as tough. Doesn't take a cannon to get the job done.

Nowadays ... police use basically 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Emotion and hyperbole aside, all of them are about the same. Police, etc., are forced to face reality ... PC req. that they hire women (capable or not) and budget constraints restrict range training. Further, everyone just isn't into guns. For most officers, a pistol is just a tool. They will use what they are issued. Best they be issued a pistol/caliber that they can actually use. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.
