I just wonder if the FBI in their study of this matter pulled up a whole bunch of gun fights of similar distances with different calibers and determined if there was any wide disparity in the hit percentage.
Instead of 36-50 round qualification courses where one just stands there and absorbs recoil, maybe instead each officer could be put in a shoot house with realistic targets at realistic distances and see what happens...
And if one reads the original study back in the late 1980s in the aftermath of Miami, one of the most important factors the panel found in handgun effectiveness was the perception of the officer carrying the gun/ammo combo. I don't see that addressed anywhere in the new study...
Just some thoughts...Bob
I believe the accuracy/speed difference was determined by having a wide range of shooters shoot courses of fire with a Glock in a .40, and a Glock in a 9mm.
Effectiveness of "caliber" was determined by field data as well as laboratory tests with a wide range of duty ammo in each chambering.
The report doesn't really pull any punches regarding previous "data." It pretty much says everything previously determined is a huge hunk of schit.
The FBI is everybody's favorite whipping boy and probably rightfully so. I'd by no means consider the report gospel, but I honestly can't find anything wrong with any of their conclusions.
