I don't see anyone suggesting.45 as the end all be all. All handgun rounds have comprises. Someone liking .45 is not the same as thinking it's the end all be all. I can find stories of people surviving IEDs', airstrikes, 7.62, .44 Mag. 5.56 etc if you'd like. Your link proves nothing other than that officer is a strong warrior.

Again, why a. 45 shield is causing so much controversy baffles me. Users of the cartridge will like it. People who have settled on 9mm likely won't. We're talking handgun rounds here. All are full of compromises and none have nuclear capabilities.
