My take on it is that had bullet technology been what it is today when the Miami shootout occurred, there never would have been so much questioning of the 9MM's effectiveness (and the 10mm may never have been born). But then again, maybe the selection made for duty ammo at that time was ill advised...I wouldn't know thing about what was available in 9mm at the time...but what I've read about the shootout gives me the distinct impression that the performance of LE's guns and ammo was pretty bad and the right thing to do was look for something better.

FWIW, I think the .40 S&W is actually a great self-defense round.

Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
