9mm has come a long way since the 40 came out. I have heard some agencies are going back.
i still hear people who carry 40's bashing 9mm though who have no idea what they are talking about
especially when they bring up how "stupid" it is that standard issue is a m9 and it should be a 40
i just think that's misinformed
as for 9mm vs 45 that's completely different, i don't blame anyone for wanting to carry their 1911 over a m9

Not that I really care for one over the other, in this test, the Speer Gold Dot outperformed it's .45 ACP counterpart. I still would feel better carrying something with 200gr +P 45s vs 124gr +p 9s, but facts don't lie.

Bottom line is, a handgun is a handgun and they all suck for putting a man's dick in the dirt instantly.
Start launching 9mm's and .40's out of carbine-style rifles and you can get some good stuff.

Yeah, this pretty much re-enforces the way I have always felt about it. The extra rounds in a 9mm versus a .40 more than makes up for the difference in "stopping power." If a person walks through a 9mm round, is the extra punch of a .40 really going to stop them in their tracks?
