Moco dumping the .40

[Biggfoot44]

Everybody jumping on the bandwagon to keep up with the Jones .

Everybody jumped on the .40 within a yeat, now they'll abandon all within a year.

I think a well placed punch could disable that bumper car.

Baltimore City is considering converting to Wrist Rocket Slingshots to save money...

Looks like a .380 to me. Minuteman approves.

UMD Police had Sigs, and I wanna say they were .40, but saw a buddy in the department a couple months ago with a Glock which I think was 9mm, So I suppose they're doing the same

Seems likle whatever the FBI does, local LE soon follows suit.

in a nut shell

FBI’s ground-breaking announcement that 9mm performed as well or better than other popular handgun cartridges, including specifically .40 S&W and .45 ACP, while offering the shooter more shots per magazine and greater hit rates on target.

and 9 mm is cheeper to shoot

Awesome sauce.

 

[4guyz1stool]

Higher capacity, less recoil, cheaper ammo, and ballistic that is very close to a 40. I dont blame them for changing.

What FBI picks.

What the relevant State Police or largest Dept in Region pick ( ie NYPD influence Northeast, LAPD in Cali, etc)

What majority of neighboring jurisdictions pick.

Most agencies at least one of :

1. Figure that ( Influencial agency) made through testing, and whatever they picked has to be at least pretty good, and we don't have money or expertise to duplicate their process.

2. If we duplicate XYZ agency, it will give us cred.

Semi- free thinking PD might decide to follow a different authority source for either gun or ammo. Ie, instead of following lead of FBI , follow lead of Border Patrol or USSS.

Every once in a while, a maverick agency will have an actual Gun Guy in charge, and he will follow his own gut.

this guy makes sense.......

The concurrent interest in AR-15 style rifles is a striking parallel, to me. ( as in 9mm vs .40/.45 and .223/5.56 vs .30-06/.308 )

[lawdog89]

We currently carry HydraShok. Not sure if the are 165 or 180 gr.

 

[swinokur]

wow-that's pretty old technology for LE ammunition.

No GD or HST?

 

[lawdog89]

A clever photoshop job.

 

[swinokur]

Indeed. Don't let the Council see it-they'll adopt it.

 

[lawdog89]

Not sure if it matters. I know the new 9mm round is probably going to be the Gold Dot.

 

[swinokur]

That'll put a bunch of hurt on the bad guys
