WC145 was that at Sig, if so I was probably out there with you. We carried 357 sigs and there were two shootings with that caliber in which I wasn't impressed. I came to the opinion that caliber didn't matter as much as shot placement and the mentality of the aggressor. Lately there has been a switch to 45 acp and I know the State Police have had very good results. My opinion has been swayed once again. I'm still comfortable carrying a 380 off duty and my HD gun is a 38 spl. but there is something to be said for larger calibers.

When gaming it there is no doubt that 9mm are easier and faster on cardboard.
