Did they change back or something?

Makes me wonder, too.
Then there was talk of the Govt looking for a new pistol, and maybe with a newly developed caliber.
Which would mean no interchangability with other services, and no good for civilian use. (But that may have been obama-induced paranoia.)
But for sure, can’t trust the feds, especially wrto ammo.
The ammunition most commonly used by DHS, ICE in particular, is the 40 S&W. ICE officers are allowed to carry a 9 mm pistol as a backup weapon or as a primary depending on the operational component to which they are assigned. It is difficult to understand why 9 mm would suddenly be in short supply with the large purchases of ammunition by the previous administration. Then again, it is also hard to understand why agencies like the Department of Education has tactical teams with sub guns.
