Re: Army likely to "Dump" 9MM for 40s&w or 45's?
Is it undeserved bashing of the 9mm? If the benchmark of handguns is the 1911 of WWII, then what would those same US troops of the era say of being hit by a Luger or a Walther? The Germans carried twice as much ammo to the pound as the US troops did with their 45s. The whole reason they went 223 was to carry more ammo. Personally, in a military setting where help may not come immediately when it's needed 10 minutes ago, I'd take my chances with the smaller bullet and a greater quantity of ammo, than a larger bullet with ammo reduced by half.
