It just seems funny to watch him fighting with a 45 strapped to his side.
So many times I find my self yelling at the screen shoot him.
Not all hand guns are .45 cals. Nick like most police uses a 9mm. There have been cases where he shot it and it did not do anything to the wessen, starting in season 1. Any time the wessen does not resemble an animal you have to assume it may not die the same as an animal. Further more any hunter will tell you do not shot bulls, boars or bears with anything smaller than a .357 mag or .44 if you want to live to talk about it. Yes, a .22 chain gun is used in slaughter houses but it is pressed up to certain locations where they know the shot will kill. A 9mm is not in the same class as larger calibers and when your target is moving you can not always press the gun to a known kill zone. It is lighter, has enough knock down for a human, and low enough kick to make it easier recover and re-aim, those pros come at the expense of the power you will find in the .45, .357, and .44s used in the US. Further more police use "light loads" to limit wall penetration.
One last thing about what I wrote in the last paragraph, do not shoot bears in the head ever. Bear skulls are slopped so as to cause bullets to bounce. Think of it as the same trick that tank armor manufacturers use to get more protection from less materials.
EDIT
By the logic I have read on the rest of this page we can ask why he does not pop the $10K to get a Barrett .50 BMG. Oh, that $10K. Wait he is a cop, gun transactions are recorded and he might not want to be caught with a firearm that might have a history... Such as 99% of what you will find on the black market.
As for ankle pieces they are only used as throw away weapons meant to prove that your bad shooting was not bad. "See he had a weapon." You do not spend a lot of money for such items. Any hand gun large enough to actually be effective would be too large to wear and hide all the time.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
