How come, and it's googleable, the ny times did an eleven year study of all shots fired by the NYPD. It includes a transition to hicap semi auto duty arms. Average shots fired by officers at bad guys, 4.7. A single shooting skewed the numbers, otherwise they averaged firing 3.6 shots at bad guy, with a microscopic percentage of times that the bad guys fire back.

Go figure, the pure numbers say that five shot revolvers would be considered 'hicap'. I want our police officers well armed, and armed with the message of deterrence, but your theory is probably based on tv horse $hit. Still, you FEEL like penalizing all the rest of the decent law abiding folks.
