FBI Going Back to 9 mm

Back in 2011, I noted a shift back to 9 mm from the .40 S&W. Pistol Training.com report on December 13, 2013, that "[a] formal proposal to remove all .40-cal guns from service and replace them with 9mm is sitting on the FBI Director’s desk and is expected to be approved." Various commentators note that the .40 S&W just didn't deliver any real advantages over the 9 mm and had significant disadvantages, including lower qualification scores, and increased wear and tear on firearms. The .40 S&W was developed from a lighter loading of the 11 10 mm; but even the current FBI load is a lightweight load compared to standard .40 S&W.

I have to agree. If you want something bigger than 9 mm, get a .45 ACP.
