Weapon of Choice(handguns)(semi-auto)
So your running from a horde of zombies, you come across an abandoned military building. You get in but soon realize the place is not abandoned,you need to get out of there! There's a small table in front of you arranged with almost every type of semi-automatic handgun in the world. You don't have any where to put the guns so you can only take one or two.So which gun do you grab to get out of there?
Me? I'd go for a Socom SOCOM Pistol Mk 23 Mod 0 .45 ACP. Why? Well because it's compact,comes standard with a laser and silencer,has an extended clip,and in my opinion .45 ACP is one of the best rounds it's big,has decent peircing power and does'nt have to much kickback.

You go with what you know. I have 2 22LR rifles, a 9mm carbine, a 40 S&W pistol, 2 45 LC SAA revolvers and a 45 acp semi auto plus rifles and shotguns in various calibers. The 9mm and 45 acp are the most proven pistol rounds in history having been used in several wars for more then a century. It's a toss up. My preference is 45 acp for a pistol.

i prefer the .40 personally. better recoil recovery than the 45, but more power than the 9mm. and the .40 completely replaces the .38 (even though the .38 is still the most common round among law enforcement)

The 40 S&W is nice and controllable but if you can shoot a 40 S&W proficiently you can handle the 45 acp.

Where did you hear the .38 is the most common law enforcement round? Most departments i've seen either issue 9mm or .40. The LAPD for example were issuing Beretta 92's for a while and just recently switched to the Glock 22. You only see the old timers carrying the .38 revolvers around.

because the stockpile of .38 still exists, and law enforcement agencys are prohibitied from selling ammunition. it's barely more common than the 9mm, but it still doesn't change the fact that there is more .38 ammo out there than 9mm or .40.
because the way you qualify with a sidearm, all law agencies require an officer to qualify with a magazine fed weapon, which certifies him for both magazine fed and for revolvers. if you qualify with a revolver, you aren't certified for magazine fed.
here in lubbock you are issued a .38, but if you wish to carry your own magazine fed firearm on duty, you are allowed to do so. but you must pay your own expenses in ammunition of you do so.

I agree that a stockpile of .38 exists, but with how many agencies nationwide are using the 9mm and .40 I seriously doubt they have more .38 then either of them. Im just curious where you got that fact from? In the areas where they still issue the .38 then obviously they'll have more of that on hand then anything, but I do not know of any major cities that still issue a .38. I still would consider the most common ammunition law enforcement uses to be either the 9mm or the .40, even the .45 to be more common just do to the fact its what they are carrying on the streets.

well i do agree with you that the .38 isn't the most issued firearm among law enforcement, and i should have specified. what i mean to imply is that the .38 ammunition is still the most common among law enforcement, because they have no way to get rid of it legally. law enforcement officers are given a "ration" of ammunition each month they can spend practicing at the range. most of this is in .38. but why would an officer practice with a .38 when they don't carry one? (even if you have one issued to you, like here in lubbock, why practice with it when you aren't relying on it for duty? is counter productive to your accuracy)
the reason that the ammunition is so common compared to the others is the way law enforcement agencies stockpile their ammo now. they order in smaller, more frequent bundles now, where they used to buy pallets upon pallets of the stuff. -

Oh ok I see what your saying about storing the ammunition, I guess there is just some minor difference in distribution of ammo from state to state in regards to what weapon your carrying on duty, and yeah I agree that you should be training and practicing more with whatever your going to be relying on as opposed to something your not.
