Yup. Save for one (possibly): military contracts and transfers from old stores to civilian law enforcement make the total cost of ownership for Federal and applicable State agencies of 9mm issue weapons more nearly practical than any new/different cartridge. I am not 100% sure how much DOD goods end up in LEO stores but I have read in the past some administrations encouraged such transfers and other have discouraged it, mostly for political purposes. Now, if the FBI goes with the 30SC, all bets are off.
Your basis for that assertion?
This is a core question I'm having with this. Every time I've heard the capacity and shot placement argument it doesn't have a floor on diameter. Just meeting the penetration and expansion standards of the FBI. Kind of highlights how ill guided any open ended argument can be and the nuance is important. As a customer base we kind of decided that 5.7mm diameter is too small. I only say kind of because the guns where so dang expensive and a "working man's" priced gun hasn't existed until ammo was difficult to source. The more I think about it the less I want this in a pocket sized gun and the more I want it in something scaled correctly I'd appendix carry. Shaving the fraction of an inch in width might not seem like much but I bet that carry method I'd notice really quickly.
