"I, too, am something of a .45 ACP fan, but the reality is that almost no professionals carry .45 any more, it is all 9mm. Nor, AFAIK, is the .45 any longer the service pistol of any nation. Barring Obama banning all guns by executive order, there will probably be .45 fans into the next century, but the fact of the matter is that by nearly any practical standard it is obsolete, just like the .45 Colt and the .45-70. "
The reason no "professionals" carry 45 is the result of affirmative action the "manning down" of law enforcement and the military. 45's have a good bit more recoil then the 9mm. Women and weaker males that affirmative action have forced into the "professional" field often cannot handle the cartridge helping increase the popularity of the 9mm. That said many "professionals" employed by agencies that allow a 45 to be carried by those proficient to handle it do.
Obsolete NEVER
