Watched this on the Marlin site. She sure is a bloody good little shot and knows how to communicate to the camera.

I think the FBI's problem was that the recoil made it difficult to put a double-tap on target... while she is a good shot and likes the recoil, I didn't see her double tapping the steels..

Nope, IMO the FBI's problem was that one gun does not fit all. Same as in many police depts - officers with small hands don't like big guns. If the recoil is that bad slow down....double tapping is not impossible with 10mm. However, the FBI moved away from it as it was not a viable solution.
.40SW seems a better all round calibre

Tbh I shot one in the states and it was an awful bit of engineering, it didn't balance well and trying to keep it on target was a pain.
Proffered the 1911 .45ACP

Blackstuff 
Had 9mm Glock and .40SW Sig P229 in the States. Loved them.
My preference is the HK USP in .45ACP, I can shoot that like a dream. Not really into 1911's at all, likewise the CZ75 - not for me. In saying that the double stack Para Ordnance 1911 in .45 is very shootable. All about what's best fit for the individual.
Used to see titchy wee female police in Turkey struggling to shoot CZ 75's and heavy Beretta 92's (or Yavuz 16 to them) - "because that's what the men had".
Bond also seemed to makew do with one magazine ....that wee round wouldn't do half the stuff Bond had it do.

WOW. "A delivery like a brick through a plate glass window" Yeah, ok pal ROFPMSL!!!
PLUS:
Dangerous gun handling
Tny wee gun and ONE magazine
Cross draw holster - and it's not suited to the gun - and cross draw is slow anyway.
Gun JAMMED? In what way.
Most so called "JAMS" are actually ammo related and can usually be cleared by stoppage drills (not by outing your hand in the air for the RO to come and do it for you).
A JAM is a totally different thing!
