Caliber war in 3...2...
A little bird whispered in my ear .
That bird was told from a "source" inside the FBI that the new round will be the 9MM in expanding bullet form.
I see that as a good thing with all the new and very real world 9MM rounds made today.
If this is so,how many of you will follow that band wagon ?.
I am already leaning in that direction,higher capacity and easier to control.
I EDC a .40 S&W as well as a .45 acp .
But own 4 9MM's.
Any who would consider changing IF this comes down the pike ?.
That's fairly true. However, I've shot all kind of critters (from way back to now) with .38, +, and ++.. they all did very well..The .38 Special SD ammo of today is not your father's .38 Special. lol
Oh I agree.That's fairly true. However, I've shot all kind of critters (from way back to now) with .38, +, and ++.. they all did very well.
I doubt if it's true. With budget cuts coming i don't think they would spend their money on a caliber switch.

Let's face it the .40 wouldn't have the following it has now (wouldn't exist really) without FBI involvement. If the Feds drop it, especially if they drop it in favor of returning to the 9mm with modern HP ammo, there will be a cascade effect of LE agencies that currently use the .40 following the FBI's lead and dropping back to the 9mm for reasons of training, controllability, and in any agency that standardizes and issues ammo to all members Budget.
To me they're like different sized drill bits, different guns in different chamberings for different purposes.
