Police going back to 9mm?

When did they change? All you 9mm here and that link is something on Burt Reynolds.

What does the 9mm have to do with the Bandit having the flu?

Well see, this is what happened. The Bandit drove a black car. LAPD is known for beating up black people. He was pursued by Sheriff B.T. Justice who carried a revolver. Although Sheriff Justice was from Tx the era was the same era that LAPD was carrying 9mm.

So, The Bandit represents LAPD going back to that era. Understand now?

Got it.

Thanks.

Carry on OP.

I took a ccw class a couple weeks ago and the deputy told me that many LEO agencies are regretting "drinking the .40 cal kool-aid" because the caliber was sold as being 9mm recoil with .45 knock down, but they have found the round to be .45 recoil with 9mm knock down.

Are the ballistics really that bad? 115 grain 9mm vs 185 .40 cal.?

The improvement in bullet technology in regards to reliable mushrooming an fragmenting has favored 9mm over the larger calibers. Combine that with the fact cops are shitty shooters and can't handle a big weapon and it's no surprise.

Most of the problem is that they're only required to shoot 100 rounds per year, and 90 of those are at 7 yards. Yes, there will be some that shoot on their own, but a bunch don't.

Change that to shoot 100 per month and every 6 months do a practical shoot, not just at paper and missed shots and number of shots in a shootout will go waaaaay down. There was a high speed chase followed by a "shootout" in Shreveport a few years back where 6 cops shot at least 12 rounds each at 1 individual and he was only hit 6 or 7 times. That is un-fricking-acceptable.
