Modern ammo has caused some police departments to consider going back to the nine mm. FMJ 9 mm. is still a military round.

The big concern is weight. Remember a cop has to drag his gun around all the time. He will likely only draw in in anger once or twice in his entire term of service. Since statistically you are going to have to shoot twice in any case you might as well have something that is comfortable to keep on your belt.
