So this is all interesting history and a bit of humor, but what's the bottom line: For use as a police firearm and/or for use as a personal defence gun - these would seem to be the same - it all comes down to can you kill or disable the attacker with one or 2 reasnbably placed shots at a realistic range - say 15-25 yards. Given this it seems that a 7.62 is ineffective, and a 9mm comes close to a .45, but - from the professionals - if I was to make a choice of gun to buy for the purpose - which one?
