LOL, I actually have or had the same opinion.
Was discussing that very point of view with my neighbor last week, the one on W's detail, he's also former Baltimore PD. Was getting his opinion on the G26 which is a 9mm round. He said not enough stopping power. I responded isn't it enough that it makes a big noise? Won't that scare off most people? He said no, not really.
His point of view was, never pull your gun unless you are going to shoot the person.
When you pull your gun you shoot the person.
When you shoot the person you want to shoot them once and have them drop.
