Like your .40 Caliber Pistol? Check this out!

I located the original video and have restored it for your education.  Conflict avoidance is the best way to survive.  Pumping a few shots into someone does not always incapacitate!

What should we carry then Paul? The 9mm seems to have worked out well for the Navy SEALS and various other military and Police Departments world wide. There are too few rounds with the 45.
I like to believe in the concept of bigger is better and because of that I carry a 45 or a 44 magnum. I don't overlook the 357 sig. when the magic bullet is ever developed I will buy it!

230 hard ball worked just fine for my family during WWII.

You have to begin with the proposition that ANY handgun round is a sub-par "Man-Stopper", so if it's not a rifle caliber round, the pistol caliber matters VERY LITTLE in the larger scheme of things. We carry handguns because they're mobile and convenient to carry, not because they're particularly good at what they do.

There is VERY LITTLE difference between a .35 caliber (9mm) round and a .40 or .45 caliber round. You're only talking a .10" difference in a 9mm and .45 round. Is that .10" difference really going to mean anything in a dynamic gunfight? No, it isn't.

Personally, I think you're far better off to carry a 9mm pistol over other calibers for the same reason that the FBI and most police departments have gone back to it; they're easier to shoot, they carry more rounds, faster follow-up shots, they're less-expensive and they're available almost anywhere in the world.

Pistol rounds are deadlier than they've ever been (due to bullet design technology) but they still aren't deadly enough.

As always, successive/multiple hits in a vital area (head/heart) are what stops a violent criminal's actions, not any particular pistol caliber.

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
