Hint: if your chosen caliber is not used by police or military personnel, it’s probably not powerful enough for its intended purpose.

Do the military or police get issued anything in .45? Because I'm pretty sure .45 is powerful.

Problem is, .45 in a short barrelled weapon is usually way too much gun for all but very experienced shooters.

9mm with good ammunition, (Barnes or Ranger +P bonded) is fine.

Yes, the 45ACP is issued to our SWAT teams here.

I’m pretty sure there were a lot of .45’s issued to the military, and there are some used in police work.
