If you want to totally avoid possible liability, only use a squirt gun.
I know which squirt gun I'd like to use, but it might cause a whole other bunch of problems.

Maybe so, but the 45acp was designed because the British 38 couldn't stop the drug crazed Zulu tribesmen of the time. Browning came up with the 230gn acp which stopped them in their tracks. Personally, I dont believe a 9 which is really a short 38 will stop the other guy from shooting back.
The 40 was a disaster as far as I'm concerned. I had so many miss fires with mine because of the kick and not holding it exactly right that I lost count. Finally one day the first shot out of the silo jammed and about 10 minutes later I owned an M&P.
Put your hands on a Glock 21 and you will probably never look back. A little heavy at exactly 2lbs loaded with 13 rds but that shouldn't bother you young strong guys.
Huh? What? Whats that mean? I don't get it. The future is now, old man?

The 40 is an emasculated 10MM, but I don't understand how "the kick" of your 40 caused miss fires.
Range owner told me that I wasn't holding high enough, squeezing grip hard enough.The 40 is an emasculated 10MM, but I don't understand how "the kick" of your 40 caused miss fires.
Maybe so. It definitely turned me against the 40 for a number of years. I will soon find out though if it was me or the gun since I just picked up a new M&P 40 Performance Center. Figured I give the caliber one more try.From all military/law enforcement studies I have read there is technical term that causes the misfires and it is called "Sissy Hands"...
Range owner told me ... I told him that I didn't want to have to think about how I held the gun...

I remember talking with a New Jersey state cop about the 9's. He said that in all the testing they did they found out that the average shot a cop took was between 7 and 10 ft and that 2-5 shots were fired.If you want to mimic the PD for shooting. You need to miss 70% of your shots.
"This executive summary was a discussion of why the FBI should change from using the .40 caliber S&W cartridge back to the 9mm Luger cartridge.
The interesting part of the summary is comment number 7: “LEO’s miss between 70 and 80 percent of the shots fired during a shooting incident”.
