Whats wrong with people haveing a gun MB, just to have a gun for protection is reason enough besides many other reasons and fun things gun owners are into.

since its for protection (and even for target practice) why isn't a 9mm enough? shouldn't that harm/incapacitate someone? or do you need something extra hefty in your pants ;)

You would be surprised, say a doped up guy breakes into the house a 9mm is NOT enough to stop him.

Wouldn't that depend on where you hit him? Or is that just dumb im-not-a-gun-enthusist logic? Don't get me wrong. I eventually plan on getting one for safety, but not right now cuz the cabinet costs all the $$$ ;D

Well, you called a magazine a clip, which made me question your firearm knowledge. There are a lot of people that believe that crap. Sorry, didn't mean to offend.

Personally I don't think "fit for law enforcement" is much of a selling point. To most cops, their sidearm is just another tool on their belt, and they might shoot it once or twice a year when they qualify.
Cases in point:
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - This is one story they'll be telling around the San Antonio Police Department for a long time. An off-duty officer was at a San Antonio auto auction house yesterday when nature called, a police spokesman said.
Officer Craig Clancy strolled to the appropriate facility and was lowering his trousers when his pistol fell from his waistband. When Clancy fumbled for the falling firearm, it went off, twice.
One of the bullets nicked a bit of floor tile into the leg of a man who was washing his hands nearby. That man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police internal affairs is investigating.
GARDEN CITY, Idaho (AP) - After officers fired 22 shots at a fleeing man without hitting him, Boise and Garden City police departments say they'll pay nearly $7,000 to repair bullet holes in homes that were hit during the wild confrontation.
According to insurance claims filed with both departments by residents, shots fired by four officers in pursuit of 39-year-old Harlan Hale hit doors, windows, window moldings, garage doors, an all-terrain-vehicle and a clothes dryer. No one was injured in the March 9 chase.
Garden City is a town of about 11,000 residents surrounded by the city of Boise.
The shots came as police tried to apprehend Hale, who had been the target of a manhunt after he was accused of shooting at two Boise police officers during a traffic stop on Feb. 28.
He was arrested March 9 less than a mile from the neighborhood. After a short car chase, Hale drove through a back yard and over a shed before crashing his car into an irrigation canal.
