[QUOTE="steyrm9a19mmfan, post: 869718, member: 9449"] Texas Department of Public Safety years ago replaced the 45acp with 357Sig because the 45acp did not offer the penetrating power that they needed when they had to shoot handgun caliber rounds(opt for a centerfire rifle at this point) at a suspect who may be in an auto or behind hardened cover. The 45acp is a good manstopper when it does not have to go through an automobile door. Ironically the 38 special developed the same type of rep back when automobiles became popular, it proved a good manstopper if it did not have to go through metal first to get to the bad guy. [/QUOTE]
