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. > The nearest Neighbors are about 300 yards down the hill, 500 yards up > the hill or a couple of miles cross country either side There is a convenient 1000 yard range if you need to practice. https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/tag/deep-creek/ 500 yards, no problem.
