the FBI abandoning the revolver because of its difficulty to reload under fire, and with it both the .38+P load and the 9mm for the agency. The Bureau first went to the 10mm but found agents were having trouble qualifying with it so the .40 S & W was conceived which has now proved to be popular due to its performance. Many law enforcement agencies are returning to 9mm because of the excellent performance of modern ammo. Of course, that will mean more .40 pistols on the resale market.

Actually the FBI just recently sighned a 10 year contract with Glock to furnish Glock 19 9mm handguns to it's agents.
You're right, modern ammo has given the 9mm a market edge with LEO.

That is true. I use thr Glock 21, .45 cal for work onky becaise I shot it better than the 9mm and the .40 (which I carried previously.)
The ballistics on the 9mm duty ammo is superior to the .45 and its easier to carrier more ammo/mags.
But I just went with what I shot best, cold, outta the box.
Figured that was best estimate of being under stress.
