In what way did the 9mm fail? The bad guy was wearing body armor. Shots to the extremities be it from 9 or .45 aren't likely to have any different effect on the terrorist. Stopping shots to the melon would have identical results from either cartridge. A rifle would be the first choice in that situation but the officer didn't have the time to retrieve a long gun.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Clearly Swedish "Clearly audible in the footage gunman Mohamad Barakat’s rapid fire from a .223-caliber rifle, modified with a binary trigger, that took down the three officers before a breathless Robinson stopped him after a nearly 2-minute confrontation. The video also illustrates what authorities have said was likely part of a planned, larger attack, with an arsenal of guns and explosives found in Barakat’s vehicle." https://apnews.com/article/fargo-north-dakota-police-shooting-5444c9fb30736781e6d4b096c0a49cf0

Where did I say it failed or for that matter compare it to the 45? At least with the 9 he had a LOT of shots..and he shouda kept shooting.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Too bad the officer didn't have his own AR to return fire...
Why the hell is this happening in Fargo... has our nation gone this far down the hole?
This wasn't Chitcago... Have you been to Fargo? It's a schit hole.
Camp is where you make it.

I am not a 9mm fan my self That said The officer doing the shooting knocked the perp down and was able to keep him on the ground with the gun that he had. So something was working even with the body armor Perp Rehabilitated and we never attack anyone again. Ya gotta pat the Officer on the back for keeping his head after the war with this guy started.
