    yeah b/c a 9mm is a bee sting in the ass, a .40 will let you poop out a new hole. Thats the reason for change over.

    Well a 9mm is still a powerful load if you are shooting a sane person. But being police you are dealing with lunatics a lot and people doped up on drugs. Going agianst someone on PCP with a 9mm is pointless unless you can nail the brain or heart directly.

    Me. If I got shot by a .22 I'd be like "Damn this. I give up".

    I had a Smith and Wesson 45 (Like the police use or use to use) but I sold it. It was great for shooting around the broad side of a barn. But of handguns I only have a Taurus 357 Magnum stub nose revolver and a 44magnum 4" barrele Revolver from Taurus. The 357 is the perfect concealed gun and the 44magnum just craps bullets and spits flames. Plus is pretty damn scary looking. The 44magnum does hide pretty well for what it is and has some decent stopping power.

    Which I like the Springfields. I'm not a composite fan but I've heard good about Springfield pistols. Of your composites I prefer the H&Ks but they are still better than Glocks.

    I'm pretty sure that would not be your reaction. Especially if it was a torso shot. In general .22 LR shot from a hand gun tend to get stuck in the body and bounce around. They are in fact one of the most deadly rounds because of this.
