A map of cocaine routes into the US matches the jurisdictions where police 
departments have replaced revolvers with semiautos because, in a worrisome 
conflict of interest, PDs can keep the money they confiscate in drug busts 
and spend it on approved items such as new weapons.  PDs experienced. 200% 
increase in accidental discharges with semiautos.  In 1989, an NYPD study of 
89 shootouts concluded that the average was decided in 2.6 rounds.  Studies 
also show that most people empty their weapons in a shootout whether it 
holds five or fifteen rounds.  Where are all those extra rounds winding up?  
I'd be more comfortable with police carrying .38-caliber revolvers, but this 
is one of those unsettleable subjects.

Still a very nice photo.

Jon,
Yes, Jerry M. got of twelve aimed shots in under three seconds which
includes a reload.  Who says wheel guns are at a  disadvantage.  There is a
YouTube video showing it.
