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.

I understand the argument about the advances in HP technology making the 9 better than it was, but that same tech has also been applied to other rounds including the .40 making it better than it used to be. I do understand the available round count difference between the .45 and 9, but it just isn't nearly as significant between the 9 and .40.
Hope people continue the new found luv fest with the 9 as it leaves more .40 on the shelf for me.

Did you hang him on the fence?

I hope all the departments go to 9mm - means more .40 on the shelf for me.
