Some things to consider.............I have been shot with a bb gun and to me they seem pretty accurate. Hurt like h3ll but did not do any damage except to piss me off. Accuracy with out power in my opinion is a poor stopper.
Some things to consider.............
The average handgun fight happens at a distance of 7 yards.
Leo's miss there intended target about 75% of shots fired.
I have shot many critters big and small, and a head shot always folds um the spot. Especially at 7 yards!
I spoke with a fish and game employee once who told me that when they have to put down a captured bear - it's usually a 22LR to the head.
There are many studies on the internet showing the statistics. It does not matter what caliber a person is shot with, those people have 4 to 10 seconds to return fire before lights out - sometimes much longer, unless it's a CNS shot. In that time they can return fire and empty a magazine.
Also, look up the stats of just how many people get killed each year with a 22, compared to other calibers, you will be surprised.
People who claim getting shot in the head with a 22 will just piss them off, have not ben shot in the head with a 22. the people that have been shot in the head with a 22 are most likely dead.
Deer have been shot with a 22 and a few have died immediately. Many have died much latter on. Some were hit perfectly most were not. Because a few deet died with a perfect shot does that makes a 22 a good deer rifle? I think not. Use what you will but realize why no law enforcement association arms thier people with a 22.
It just irks me all the BS the FBI went through to come up with the 40 and now they go back to the 9mm. All the money spent and the scientific justification with test on every bullet and now every positive thing they said is bs. The 40 was basically developed for police agencies and proclaimed as their perfect caliber.
Next big failure to stop they will just spend the money again to switch calibers, it's our money so no big deal....

It's been a long time since the Miami gunfight, idiots will have to learn again at the cost of lives and millions of dollars what works and what doesnt.

I don't know, with the more heavily 'militarized' style police forces, do they really need to be all that worried about their pistol rounds? Aren't most cops equipped with AR style rifles as standard equipment in their cars?
In any case, the government knows all too well how to throw good money after bad. It stinks, especially since there is nothing we can do to stop them.

Edited to add, I like the 9mm, I really do in the right platform but it makes people uncomfortable when I carry the full auto....
Well that's the issue.. they are not so simplistically comparable since the 9 expands to .75 due to its speed and the .45 expands to.. 45.. due to its slug-like non-speed. lolThe fact that FBI still waffles between performance versus capacity is proof positive that the Caliber Wars will never be settled.
For the mathematically challenged: .452^2/.355^2= 1.6. The wound channel of a .45 will always be 60% larger in cross-sectional area than a comparable 9mm.
