Not all, but the big ones are. Pretty sure all federal LE is and large municipal police depts are, but the rural communities are sticking with .40 because that's what they've had for near 3 decades and they're not looking to dump everything they have in .40 just to spend 50 grand on new guns, mags, and ammo so they can save a few cents per round on 9mm.I think it's just a fad thing because all the LE departments are dumping their .40s.
Again, it's not that 9mm performs better than .40 with the advancements in ammo, it's just no longer a questionable ballistic performer like it was decades ago. .40 is still going to be around in LE for many years.
What I wonder tho is if something like 5.7x28 or .22 TCM will ever get noticed by LE for its much lower recoil and soft armor defeating abilities.
