The Revolver Guy has posted an article acknowledging that April 11, 2026, was the 40th Anniversary of the Miami shootout that resulted in the FBI reevaluating handgun bullet performance. As a direct consequence of the shootout, the FBI adopted standards for bullet performance and penetration and testing procedures. It also led to the FBI adopting the 10mm for a period of time. The issues with the 10mm led, in turn to the development of the .40 S&W round, which the FBI subsequently adopted.
However, this article--entitled "FBI Miami Gunfight 40th Anniversary"--doesn't go into that or how the incident changed FBI training, tactics, or procedures. Rather, it remembers the FBI agents killed in the shootout, and the concepts of loyalty and duty.
