It seems like they would practice with fmjs and save hps for patrol.
True, but.....

Several years ago the Princeton, NJ PD was returning to the station en masse from a range session, when they received a call about a bank robbery with hostages. They responded immediately, of course, with range ammo. When they got there, a 3-time loser had a female teller in front of him with a .44 Mag to her head. He demanded they leave by the time he counted to three, or he would blow her head off.

In the words of their range officer, "Two was the last word he ever said!"

The solids worked just fine.
