Police used to carry a .32 or .38 revolver

They did not stop the target

Some states and cities even banned the S&W .357 Magnum for LEOs - It “killed”

I have also seen a young cop carry a nice SIG .40 - and a .357 Mag as a backup

I asked him (after he insisted I examine his SIG) why he chose to carry two (2) calibers of handguns - requiring two (2) calibers of cartridges

When you strap on your iron you are not going to a gun show or shoot a B western flick

You need practical, dependable large caliber stoppers

And lots of regular practice

Otherwise just go sell shoes in the mall

There are many PDs that allow .45’s

They are heavier and bulkier - but there are some now made with composites &/or titanium

Law Enforcement or the military is not the career for a showboat or someone wanting to be a hero

Or to hide in a Shrink’s starched and pressed uniform or whites stateside

I used semi-autos and full-autos in the military

I prefer revolvers for my own use - but a scoped semi-auto carbine for hunting or trespassers/thieves
At the rate the US is going - they may soon get up close and personal lessons about the real reason for the 2nd Ammendment

That includes any lefties/thugs in the SS or elsewhere

I jump to conclusions!
