So he went to 9mm after not getting the job done in short order with a 45ACP? Got it.

You must not have read the last sentence.
"Don’t waste time arguing the relative merits of various calibers. No handgun rounds have reliable stopping power with body shots. Pick the round you can shoot best and practice shooting at the suspect’s head.”

At one point Gramins heard a doctor exclaim, “We may as well stop. Every bag of blood we give him ends up on the floor. This guy’s like Swiss cheese. Why’d that cop have to shoot him so many times!”

He should have gotten up and throat punched that stupid doctor.

We also don’t know why he switched. Most LEOs don’t get to pick either their model or caliber. It is selected by the department.

Yes, I read it. I saw a guy take 9 hits with 9mm at 30 feet and still walk up to the cop and take the cop's gun away and start beating him with it. Another cop shot him in the head and finished it. All things being equal since I have actually shot someone(s) with both a 45ACP and a 44mag I will take the 45 ACP. Oh and the guy I shot with the 45 took three rounds of 5.56 in the chest and still kept running at me.
