We are talking about a newbie shooter buying his first handgun, not cops.

And can you please tell me what major police depts now have banned 9mm as ineffective?

First, can you please tell me when/where I stated that ANY police department had “banned” the 9mm as “ineffective”?

PS - My post was in reference to police departments switching from one caliber to another, seemingly quite often. It was not directed at the new shooter and was not a recommendation to him.

I already posted my recommendation, and then changed my mind and agreed with you as regards revolvers.
