Why are these people in the photos always looking carefree, even defiant, not worried.

Are they all so sure that money will take care of their problem quickly ??

I wish we would get a follow-up report for all these cases. As in how much time did they get ??

Cracked out junkies running loose with automatic pistols. Great.

Many more where he came from.

Hold on a second. I have been listening to my American gun nut people talking firearms all my life, never heard if an 11 mil. Is that equivalent to a .40cal?

Take your pick:

11 mm caliber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Complete list of Handgun Calibers | Ballistics 101

Really hard work typing "11mm pistol" into Google.

No, I don't know what criteria the police/journalist used to identify this particular pistol as 11mm.

The gun is a Springfield Armory .45 ACP, probably made in Brazil but they also make them in Croatia, I believe. I have no idea why they call it an 11mm although it is, approximately. For more than 100 years it has been the .45, invented by John Browning for Colt. That style of gun was adopted by the US Army in 1911 and it's now commonly called "The 1911" no matter who makes the knock-off. The patent has long expired. They are still great guns, although a bit bulky for my tastes.

If you look at your second link, the OP gun, a .45 ACP actually converts to 11.5mm. For some reason, many writers and others lump the .44's and .45's into 11mm which they aren't and never were. I have no idea why they didn't just call it a .45 which is what it is.

Cheers.
