    And I've seen cases where a primary argument of the prosecution was excessive use of force because shots were fired after the perceived threat was "stopped".

    Same can be said of .45.

    It was developed as an anesthetic so that'll give you an idea of it's affects. Seems to me that a hit to the CNS would be the best bet in a situation like that. Again, shot placement is king with bullet size being secondary. That said, if I'm in that situation, I'm not going to be able to consciously think to shoot to hit the CNS. I'll be shooting COM until the threat stops.

    I'm a strong believer in the best round being the one that you can get positive hits with and have with you when needed.

    That is what my point was I dont see why no one understands, that if you got a guy charging at you or whatever the siuation might be, I dont think you will be very good with your shot placement, and that a 45 will tend to drop a human more than a 9mm will. I seen a clip were a cop should still be alive cause he had a 9mm. I did not mean to upset anyone.

    How do you know that a .45 would have done any better?

    I believe taking a hit to the sternum with a 45 instead of the 9mm would have saved his life, than again reacting faster would have saved his life, I am sure you have seen it.

    I haven't seen it.

    What makes you so sure? A .45 weighs a little bit more, but it is also traveling a little bit slower.

    Better training would have saved his life. Does not matter if he has a .22LR or a .500S&W.
