Moot point for Gun Porn.....Trolls can start all the threads they want and it's the info folks post in response that the rest of us learn from...... sharing ideas from the responses vs the troll, real or not, who planted the seed ! He already stated he's not knowledgeable. No ones posted anything illegal....just good reading to learn from each other IMO.

It's true! Everything I learned about guns I learned from Eaker and Squantos!

.45.

Why? Because "hey, it's a .45!"

9mm effectiveness, unless an immediately vital-to-function structure is hit, is dependent upon bullet design and manufacture. The reason the .45ACP is used in Bullseye and other target competitions is that the wide bullet may clip the next nearest ring toward the bull's eye. Translation: being wider, making a wider permanent channel, it may contact vital structures rather than pass them closely. Also, big holes empty more blood faster, leading to rapid blood pressure loss, loss of motor skills and consciousness..equals, a stop.

The low operating pressure case is also rather comfortable to shoot. I find the .40 somewhat unpleasant to shoot, and suspect it may be the pressure, but haven't looked into it.

The 9mm's capacity is handy when dealing with attacking dogs, and a large consideration for LE is ammo resupply from other officers, in a bad situation. However, 9mm is not a famous "stopper," which is the name of the game, really. The ammunition the department allows for carry is also a consideration, and the .45 is the most forgiving. It is a heavy, wide, slow projectile, which in hunting use is the formula for success, if very high velocity is not available, or the animal is very tough. All things considered then, for the greatest range of effectiveness, including against the intoxicated, insane, and armored...a 230/200 grain bullet offers rather impressive impact, and should get more of the desired job done, with the least amount of shooting....a very good thing.

Quite true!
I've even seen totally unrelated threads get hijacked and turned
into excellent gun threads. That used to be almost a sport!
