Third, I know I'm dreaming, but I do often wonder whether the police in this country wouldn't be better off to go back to the very accurate long-barreled 38 Special revolvers they carried in the the days before semi-autos and "spray and pray" became all the rage...I imagine that the cop who confronted the BG would have been armed with a Colt or S&W revolver and would have simply put one aimed 158 grain LRN through the BG's skull as soon as he saw him, and that would have been that.

You mean the same way they did the single-bullet-through-the-head-of-the-criminal thing with
Bonnie and Clyde, or
Dillinger at Little Bohemia, etc.?
I think you may be looking at history through some rose-colored glasses.
Second, I don't see how you can characterize 10 hits out of 11 shots as "spray and pray"?
