I would only use a revolver in self defense if it were a .44 magnum, .454 casull, or .50 ae so you know if it hits chances are they are going down (of course i doubt there is a police force in the US that lets you carry one as your patrol weapon).

Actually, I seem to recall reading in a book at Barnes and Noble (I don't recall the title but it was hardback and on the bargain table) that at least at some point in time, Tennessee allowed some of their officers to carry a .44 magnum. Now, whether this is still in effect or not, and whether city cops were allowed to carry them I can't recall. But I do recall the look of terror on a man's face while he was belly down on the hood of a patrol car with a 4" or 5" barreled .44 mag pointed to his head.
May God bless Trooper Coates, his family and the countless other U.S. citizens who risk their lives everyday.
