Thank you for that.

The take-away on this may be:
“Never wear 9mm-rated body armor to a .45cal gunfight.”

If cameras captured the action, I nominate “Smooth Operator” as the background music for the film.

My son has the Glock 21, its a great choice for handgun situations; especially for any that may be other than brief.

Considering the very few shots fired by the Officer against two attackers and the speed the attackers were incapacitated, I'm fairly certain we'll learn the hits were head shots when the details are reported. In this case, body armor provided no protection for the attackers.

Truthfully, a well-placed 9mm JHP round would have produced the same effect delivered to the central nervous system. However, I must admit that I grinned when I learned the pistol used was a Glock 45ACP (probably Glock 21). I've carried and trained with its little brother, the Glock 30 45ACP (10+1), for many years.
