Don't get me wrong I dont want you to sign off og the thread, and I appologize that I misenturpreted your post. Most Texas Leo's right now (except the rangers who DO carry 45s) are carrying 40s or 357 sigs. The 357 sig is winning by leaps and bounds. Understand that most departments will not allow revolvers, otherwise I am with you I would carry a good double action, probably a gp100 357 mag.
Mind set is incredibly important, but since the question was posted by Adam who I don't know personally but I am convince has an incredibly good grasp on mind set and tactics I ignored the mind set side entirely. Once skill and mind set has been defined, fixed an put aside all that is left is equipment.
That being said I don't know the entire reason behind why rifles where not pulled out in the case of the moros (glad you knew the reference). Again if I KNOW I am headed to a gunfight a rifle will be my primary.
The other issue is anecdotal evidence. When you get down to it what else is there? No machine no matter what anybody says will respond like a live human being shot. It just doesn't You gather data, you make a guess, you go from there. In the end the "field test" is in the field when you shoot a bad guy and see whether or not he takes the gun away and beats you to death with it or dies quickly in which case you go home to your family.
My ultimately prefered ccw gun is a Marlin 336 in 30-30 winchester. Unfortunantly it doesn't fit in my pocket like my 38 does.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
