I sometimes for get. I've been binge reading Inger Wolf, a Danish mystery 
writer. Most of her stuff is set in Aarhus but in the one I'm reading now 
the Danish detective is sent to Alaska for a case involving Danish 
nationals. The female US detective makes a remark about toy guns when she 
is kitting him out and he says he uses a 9mm. She fits him up with a Glock 
10mm. 

While it's true the 10mm was developed after a FBI shootout with 9mm 
didn't go well. 

The full load proved to be a little much so the FBI went to the .40 S&W, 
sort of a reduced load in a shorter case. .40 had it's day but most police 
forces are back to 9mm. Danes apparently feel Americans all prefer hand 
cannons.

Another interesting cultural thing is she refers to a congregation as a 
'free church'.  Few in the US would have a clue what a free church is. 

In her profile she says she has a dog named Harry Hole. I've often 
wondered how much English Jo Nesbo spoke when he picked that name for his 
detective.

There is a convenient 1000 yard range if you need to practice.

500 yards, no problem.
