Generally speaking, cops don't practice nearly as much as they should and so usually cant shoot for shit. It has been my experience that the vast majority of police only fire about 40 rounds a year for their idiot-proof annual qual.

IMO, the 9 vs. 40 debate is a bit of an academic circle-jerk. There is no
real difference between the two. Both rounds launch a big bullet really fast. In the real world, both rounds inflict about the same amount of damage. For what its worth, the nice big holes you're seeing at the range are a whopping 0.005" (five thousandths of an inch) larger in diameter than a 9mm. Shot placement aside, I would suggest that the biggest factor when it comes to winning a fight is using quality ammunition that expands like it should, not the caliber of your pistol.
Regardless, it sounds like you got yourself a nice gun. Enjoy.
