The Federal Bureau of Incompetence has changed it's mind more on this subject than just about anything else. I'll stick to what I know for a fact I can defend myself with because I practice diligently and can shoot my sidearms well in a defensive situation. Like the old man, I've worked alongside police for a lot of years now. And I know 90% of them couldn't hit a barn wall from the inside. Most of the ones I know would be better served unloading their sidearms and using the damn thing as a club. Of course I'm sure there are exceptions but not to many from what I have witnessed over the years. I'm in no way stating that a 9mm is ineffective. I like the caliber myself. I just like the .45ACP more. In that article they stated that only 10%-20% of rounds fired in an exchange hit the target. That doesn't tell me to switch to 9mm so you can miss faster. That tells me you need to train your damn officers a hell of a lot more. Especially when they are being paid to carry a sidearm.
