Good morning.
"They should be carrying 1911's."
How are the cops going to negligently discharge their weapons if they have a gun with a safety?
How are they going to miss or fail to kill their intended target 15 times if they only have eight rounds in the magazine?

Yeah... at least with a 1911 they can enjoy all the finicky eating habits, stove pipes, and FTF's that the rest of the .45 ACP community puts up with.
Springfield XD in .45 ACP. Sig Saur P220. Both are highly shootable, easy to maintain, and reliable. Comparatively affordable unless you've got a thousand+ you wanna toss down on a Kimber CCII that'll jam up if your LOA is off by .005".

One reason they don't generally use the 1911 is because of the rash of "accidental discharges" that went around in the 60s-70s period. Lots of idiots used to carry the weapon cocked and unlocked, trusting to the grip safety.
Sound familiar?

(Overwhelmingly superior firepower and the willingness to use it is the only proven peace solution.)
