Yup, I had a similar experience with my 1911 and a rockchuck.

I really grind my teeth when I read about some poor cop who gets trashed in the press over shooting a bank robber "12 TIMES!!! or some such.

I always think...

If a sheep will just flick its ear and keep eating when it takes a .45 thru the boiler room, I reckon a mean meth head will keep trying to make a widow out of the LEO's Misses uless the gun keeps going bang.

All cops should shoot some critters with their service pistol before hitting the streets. Faith in the handgun will then be appropriate to its performance, which ain't impressive.
