I like my original Glock 17 9mm. Seems to do what it was designed to do.

Don't know what issues the cops might have had with the .45s, never handled one of them.

But since I have been in Portland since last night, spent the entire day here in meetings (at the freaking airport of all places), and will be here doing the same thing until this time tomorrow, I feel a little safer knowing all those .45s are off the street.

I don't follow your reasoning at all. You say that you feel safer knowing that "all those .45's are off the street"- this discussion is about POLICE .45's, not criminal .45's. The criminals still have theirs. And they're NOT off the street. Sleep well.
