If you have to carry then I would also recommend the largest diameter bullet you can accurately handle. I prefer the wheel guns that Ruger makes - the trigger can be a little rough and a might hard BUT it can be fixed with a little work and I have personally fired over 10000 rounds through my Ruger and it still prints well. I know of Smiths that have been shot out with half that many rounds. I think the 357 is an excelent round for LE use. If you look at the velocity and bullet weight data you will find that 9mm and 38spl+p are so close as to be identical in ballistics. Not my favorite round but some like it. The 45s would also be an excellent choice. I never learned to trust an auto but some do so I guess it is personal preference.
