thank you all for the honest & serious responses; thank you also to the wise persons for their 'colorful' responses...I need a chuckle every so often; I'm getting too old to keep up with the Jones & knowing that a portion of our LE organizations still use 9mm gives me some assurance that it is a viable choice for civilian SD;

on a sidebar about the "Obama Rush," I currently load with Winchester WWB Personal Defense 147gr jhp or Remington UMC 115gr jhp; WalMart seems to be one of the few stores that is actually keeping up with demand (in stock or restocked weekly)...I stopped by my local Gander Mountian and they are barren; seems to be the same with the local Bass Pro Shop; Dick's is hit or miss; even mom-n-pop shops that are known to carry niche loads are running low

Jacksonville Sheriff's Office does.

Beagle- have not heard of the Philly PD's changes but am interested. where'd the info come from?

Local PD (Fairfax Co.) uses Federal 9BPLE in their P226/P228 pistols though I heard they're switching to new sig pistols in .40. Makes sense as the local Sheriffs Office uses .40cal Glocks.

I haven't heard many complaints if any about its use here and there have been a few shootings which ended well for the officers.

Some of the rural community police departments in my part of Texas carry 9mm handguns.

One carries Glocks another carries Sigs and yet another carries Barretta.

PUllman WAsh State City cops use Glock 17 with Ranger T ammo.

FWIW/FYI - The (Whitman) County Sheriffs use
Kimber 1911s in .45 ACP.

I was poking around their website the other day, and some press-release kind of thing concerning this change came up as a result to one of my searches.

Here's the press-release: http://www.ppdonline.org/showdocument.php?DocName=120508.01.pdf&DocType=pressrelease

It's exactly one month old.

Looks like they accept the Glock 35, too--that's an interesting choice.

West Bloomfield, Michigan uses Glock's in 9mm with Gold Dot ammo.

 

[North of 49th]

Canadian RCMP use a 9mm Smith and Wesson. They do some mods to it too, can't tell you the model.

Cincinnati Police Department are issuing M&P 9mm
