Thierry Prungnaud of GIGN took out three out of four terrorists as a point man rescuing the hostages in the Christmas 1994 Air France Flight 8969 hijacking. I occasionally carry the sidearm that he chose for that mission, a 5¼" Manurhin MR73 in .357 Magnum. What made sense to him makes more sense to me. Admittedly, patrol duty has different priorities.
