Here's a very interesting article about the FBI's decision to go back to 9mm. It's well worth reading the whole thing, but the key points are:
loadoutroom.com/12077/fbi-going-9mm-comes-science/
1) Modern tactical ammuntion has basically evened the field between 9mm, .40s&w, and .45acp.
2) Penetration depth is more important to neutralizing a target than the size of the bullet.
3)LEO's miss between 70% and 80% of shots fired in real life situations.
4)9mm can generally be fired more accurately, with less recoil by LEO's. Which make it more effective.
Basically what I was referring to above as well.
Also, most shoot outs (LEO related) from what I remember are within 8' of the LEO and perp
For those concerned with their ability to hit their target, laser sights work wonders. The bullet is going to hit where the dot is on the target. The presence of a red dot on a bad guy is an incredible deterrent by itself. I many cases the dot is enough to defuse the situation. After all, that should be the goal. If it can be done without firing a shot, much pain for all involved can be avoided.
This topic has suffered from the usual drift. Circling back to the original topic and parameters of weight being a determinate factor, can anyone beat 8.05oz fully loaded for a conceal carry weapon? That is the weight of mine.
check out the "Back Up" though heavier than 8.5 oz. holds a .410/9mm/.45acp

Have you ever seen that little bitty derringer belt buckle?
