I can't argue with the logic, just wondered if its just guys wanting focus on .mil cartridges. I also know several cops that started out with .40 because it was pretty new at the time, they've since gone with 45's. I attribute that to them being older and wiser and not feeling like they need the added capacity of a 9mm or .40...

Anyone one else notice this? Maybe I am just confused because the mountains are on the wrong side since I moved?

This statement is completely and utterly stupid.


Choosing a lower capacity, more expensive, heavier recoiling cartridge that has absolutely no advantage over 9mm or .40 in terms of wounding ballistics has NOTHING to do with being older and wiser.
