Toward the end of the "Walking Dead" Sunday night Carol was on the ground about to be shot by a bad guy. He was about 6'2" and looked 220+ lbs. Morgan confronted him with a CZ 82, 9 MM. The guy wouldn't back down so Morgan shot him....again...and again...and again...and again...finally he goes down.

Even the Hollywood guys know a 15 round mag isn't worth much when you have to unload 5 rounds to get the effect of one of Rick's Python .357 Magnums or a 1911 .45 (and BTW, I own both a 1911 and Colt Python).

And oh yeah, the 1911 I have is the Springfield TRP, the production version of the one commissioned by the FBI. So apparently the article is a little more "do as I say" and a little less "do as I do".

And one more oh yeah. Why did the FBI chose the 1911 TRP? Because if accuracy is the most important thing, then 15 rounds vs. 7 has no meaning, and the TRP might be the most accurate gun out there. I have shot/tested well over 3 dozen different guns in my various searches and when it comes to accuracy I always end up back to my TRP because it is by far, and I mean by really far, the most accurate.

Like I said in the "Is .40S&W dead?" thread, this is the wussification of the FBI. It started with whining about the 10mm so they modded it to the .40S&W. Now, they whine about the .40S&W. To Dutz's point, I know current and former LEOs whose first issued caliber was the .357 Magnum. The whiners would never have made it back then because the standard issue FBI side arm was the S&W model 27 snubby, which kicks a lot harder than a .40S&W or a .45 ACP. I know, I've fired one. To cover for their agents, the FBI released supposed data that contradicts real world experience. To paraphrase the late great Bruce Lee, "Paper don't shoot back."
