A friend of mine who was with FWPD hates that caliber. He got into a shooting and the bullets were fragmenting on everything. He said all he did was pepper the guy with lead. But then again, this is FWPD we're talking about. One of their officers shot a guy I worked with after he'd identified himself as a detective.

The department I used to work for went to 357 SIG in the aftermath of DPS making that move. It was a dumb choice. Two years later, we begged our way back to personally owned weapons. The overall qualification scores dropped, and one officer had to go through remedial on the first day of qualification with the new guns. He was previously a great shot with his personal Sig. Their big thing was it could shoot through car doors. Our argument was we'd be doing good to even hit a car door. The only ones who kept the department guns when we went back to personal weapons were the admin people.
