Excerpts:

• 9mm Luger now offers select projectiles which are, under identical testing conditions, I outperforming most of the premium line .40 S&W and .45 Auto projectiles tested by the FBI

• 9mm Luger offers higher magazine capacities, less recoil, lower cost (both in ammunition and wear on the weapons) and higher functional reliability rates (in FBI weapons)

• There is little to no noticeable difference in the wound tracks between premium line law Auto enforcement projectiles from 9mm Luger through the .45 Auto

"Rarely in law enforcement does a topic stir a more passionate debate than the choice of handgun caliber made by a law enforcement organization. Many voice their opinions by repeating the old adage “bigger is better” while others have “heard of this one time” where a smaller caliber failed and a larger caliber “would have performed much better.” Some even subscribe to the belief that a caliber exists which will provide a “one shot stop.” It has been stated, “Decisions on ammunition selection are particularly difficult because many of the pertinent issues related to handguns and ammunition are firmly rooted in myth and folklore.” This still holds as true today as it did when originally stated 20 years ago."

"Due to the elastic nature of most human tissue and the low velocity of handgun projectiles relative to rifle projectiles, it has long been established by medical professionals, experienced in evaluating gunshot wounds, that the damage along a wound path visible at autopsy or during surgery cannot be distinguished between the common handgun calibers used in law enforcement. That is to say an operating room surgeon or Medical Examiner cannot distinguish the difference between wounds caused by .35 to .45 caliber projectiles."

"The Ballistic Research Facility has conducted a test which compares similar sized Glock pistols in both .40 S&W and 9mm calibers, to determine if more accurate and faster hits are achievable with one versus the other. To date, the majority of the study participants have shot more quickly and more accurately with 9mm caliber Glock pistols."

• The move to 9mm Luger can now be viewed as a decided advantage for our armed law enforcement personnel.

Said it before, with current bullet "Technology" 9mm is the way to go.





Edit: take it from someone who knows....bullets don't kill people like you think...it's all about multiple hits.

Wow, and I was just getting ready to move my EDC caliber from 9mm to 10mm

Will people finally stop with the handgun caliber debate?

Quoted:



I'll keep this in mind if ever I should:



A) Join the FBI

B) Be attacked by a block or blocks of naked gelatin

C) Decide to live out the remainder of my life in the nirvana of a controlled environment of a ballistics lab

D) All the above



Until then, I'll stick with cartridges that begin with "4" and end with "5".

Meh... Give it 20 years, they come up with something going the other way,  justify buying new weapons.

Same goes for M4 replacement, new military sidearms and camo patterns.

Let me shoot you with a 9mm. Then a 45. Or hell, you pick which one first

Tell me if you notice a difference
