Not enough ammo to spray and pray and hope they hit something. When Nashville PD switched from .38 Special S&W revolvers to 9MM Glocks I asked one of their training officers why they made the switch. He replied that it gave their guys the ability to throw away a few shots while diving for cover without having to reload. When I asked him what would happen if they hit an innocent bystander with one of those throw away shots, he mumbled something obscene and walked off. This was not a rookie I was talking to- - - - -he was a precinct supervisor!
I handload a 300 grain hard cast bullet with a .40 caliber flat meplat at 1300 FPS for my Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt. That load launches bowling pins about 10 yards with a dead center hit.

Not enough ammo....................why didn't they get some of those "Hollywood Specials".............you know, the Colt 45 Peacemakers that would shoot 16 times without having to reload.
