Steve, your choice of weapons and calibers might change if you read all the internal reports on officer involved shootings with Glock 19. Fewer and fewer departments are using them. I do not know of any department that is going to the 9mm these days and am fairly sure many of those currently using them will be changing to other calibers.

One local area dept has been using the same guns since 1984 and all the officers wanted a change of caliber. Next year they get their new guns and they will be in .40cal. No more deflected bullets when hitting windshields. No more failure to penetrate car door panels. No more multiple hits being required to stop aggression. Yet the fact that there was little problem with the Glock 19 by the dept in 26 years speaks well for the gun.
