9mm vs. 40 – Is the .40 Caliber a Better Handgun Cartridge?

[Biggfoot44]

That would be ok for civilians, but for police

This Was a PD of which l spoke , with 300 -ish Ofc at the time .

, in a gunfight where an officer may give a magazine of ammo to another officer,

While a Theoretical " maybe could happen " , the usual reply is to name any documented instance in USA of LEO throwing each other magazines in the middle of a gunfight ?

Complete guns ? Reasonably common , but not just the mags.

My Department was over 700 sworn officers. My point was why take any chances at all. We already had instances of husband and wife teams going out for recreational shooting and having one spouse load the wrong ammo in their spouses gun. As for “theoretical,” why take any chances. Why introduce a possible problem when you don’t have to. My job was to train the officers to survive in a deadly situation where everything can go south in a heartbeat. One thing less to worry about is a bonus.
