I carry an all metal CZ 75 compact. Yeah, it's heavy. I deal with it.

To be fair, Michael Brown sustained 0 center mass shots, and only 1 (maybe 2) of the 6 shots were incapacitating, regardless of caliber.
My duty weapon is a .45 Glock 13+1 capacity, but I wouldn't be concerned if we went to a 9mm. Capacity and accuracy seem to be the most important factors in a handgun fight. And if I know ahead of time that there's going to be trouble, I grab the rifle. Not a whole lotta argument about stopping power or caliber when talking about rifles.
