Bullet design has come along way since the FBI Shooting in Miami in 1986. It's also my understanding that there has also been design changes since the 1997 North Hollywood shooting.
I think when you get right down to it any handgun caliber is less than ideal for a gunfight. There is an old saying (I'm paraphrasing here) that anybody who knowingly goes into a gunfight with just a handgun is a fool.
But most of them time we don't know that we're heading into a gunfight and a handgun beats a rock. So we do the best we can.
I like the 9mm, but I strive to be an accurate shot and know my sidearm. Immediate action drills etc. These things will carry you farther then the biggest most powerful handgun caliber in the world.
