SgtWaldo: "I have no doubt the .45 has failed to stop a fight. In actual police shootings it hasn't."
First off SgtWaldo, don't worry about picking a fight. I am very thick-skinned. I take none of what you say personally. And I certainly don't consider this a fight. And if we called it an argument, that wouldn't bother me at all. I think it is important to have substantive discussions about all manner of topics. And for something to be substantive, a lot of times, it follows there will be disagreement. I take no offense, and I hope you don't either. I mean none.
With regards to the above quote, I still don't believe you. I just can't believe it. I really believe that out of all the police shootings with the .45 ACP there has been at least one torso hit that failed to stop an attacker. In fact, I would be completely surprised, totally nonplussed, to find out there had been only one. I imagine there have been more. I think the .45 ACP is a formidable round. But I don't think for one second it has a 100% stopping rate in police shootings.
