[QUOTE="johnrunner, post: 111119, member: 925"] I and others find that 1911 style .45's are easier to shoot for accuracy due to their design. And most .45 caliber pistol i've shot are easier to shoot than 9's and 40's due to their stiffer recoil springs and less felt recoil along with the cartridge design itself. Don't get me wrong though, proper training on either of the calibers provides good accuracy. P.S PS, regardless of how "bad a$$" the swat team is, they make entry carrying RIFLES, SUBMACHINE guns and SHOTGUNS. Their sidearm serves as a back up and is rarely if ever deployed on a call out. Which points back to the previous post, shot placement, velocity and ballistics matter MORE than size. The bullet being fired out of an AR-15/M4 rifle that a swat operator will normally carry will have a .223 diameter, HALF the size of a .45. (You can shoot .22lr out of an AR-15! with a BCG swap). BUT due to it's velocity and ballistic, it is make a WAY more effective cartridge than a pistol round regardless of the size. [/QUOTE]
