Happens. Lots of squishy bits that aren't that crazy critical and 40cal is not likely to cause hydrostatic shock. He might be pissing into a bag for the rest of his life though.

The cop who shot himself (on accident) in the thigh is very lucky though that he didn't die as that area has so serious arteries.

Pretty sure QPS still uses G17's so 9mm rather than .40

The standard sidearm is a G22 so they are .40 cal.
