One wonders how many times one has to be shown that the Parabellum, while lethal, just can't be relied on to stop the threat.

LAPD is transitioning to Glock as a duty pistol -- and the 21 will be allowed (though probably not issued). It will be interesting to see how many officers choose to qualify on that vs. the 17.

I watched that "Guns of the Gangsters" (depression era) History Channel show. [Bonnie & ] Clyde thought the same
thing of the Thompson. Couldn't be guaranteed to penetrate automobiles. He preferred sawed-off BARs.
