Dont worry what caliber your partner carries. If she can shoot it good, thats all that really matters. Once you get out on the street you'll see that caliber matters a lot less than shot placement. One of the guys on my squad has been in two shootings with his .45 Glock 21. Both bad guys were shot at least 4 times including a headshot on both. Both of them survived. He actually was trying to go to a 9mm because he didnt like the penetration he got with his .45 (one guy he shot through a windshield as the guy tried to run him over) and dosnt like the feel of a .40. The dept no longer authorizes 9mm so he kept his .45.
BUT in shootings we have had with good shots, the .45 has worked really well.
Ive decided to stick with my Glock 22 because A) it holds more rounds B) has better penetration through barriers and C) I shoot it pretty damn well.
Theres always a trade off when choosing a duty weapon.
