Over the past 2 or 3 years most police depts have switched from .40 cal to 9mm.  The change occurred because some ballistic tests showed the 9mm was “close” to the .40 and recoil was less!  But, real life has shown that more shots are required to stop the perp.  I use .40 cal for that reason.....I’d use a .50 cal machine gun if I was a cop today.  BTW, the exact same excuse was made when the M-16 was introduced to replace the M-14.  We were fed the line of BS that the 5.56 mm round would “tumble” upon impact and cause the same damage as the .308.....LIE.  Big counts!!

BTW, want a good deal on a used police .40, go online.  Lot’s of ‘em for sale.
