The Beretta is an exellent sidearm for Army tests. It was adopted in order to have the US military firing the 9mm Nato round in sidearmsThe stats when one is comparing "ball" ammunition show it to be an ineffective stopper compared to .45 acp ball. Check out evan Marshall's work on this subject.
In short believe the guys coming back from the boonies they know what the problems are and what works. remember it does not help if the guy you are shooting dies one second after he inflicts a mortal wound on you. The .45 acp works.

Each warrior should have two sidearms after his rifle:
a Glock .45 and
a Desert Eagle.
Then they can play pinball with the "wild -eyed" crazies.
