Should have went with 10 mm, and left the 9 to the others.
NATO, Schmato!

I have a nice little Kimber Micro-9. And a few various Colt 1911s, including a Delta Elite in 10 mm. It is pretty sweet, though there are some really, really stout 10 mm rounds available that aren’t recommended for it. I’d say that Sig 10 mm is about tops in terms of energy.

I just got back from the range. I love my Sig P320. Zero problems with it and it’s design is REAL easy to work on.

The article doesn’t give the caliber? Is it coming in both 9mm and 45?

Those M18’s are very nice—I just bought one. A friend of mine has the M17, great weapon.

You see a lot of .40 cal police trade-ins because departments are going back to the 9mm now that the FBI switched back. With todays ammunition, stopping power isnt an issue.

I had forgotten about the Miami shootout; several of the FBI agents had revolvers and found it difficult to reload under fire. The FBI and many LEO agencies went with a mag fed sidearm after that incident.
And then there's the N. Hollywood shootout where LEO's were up against automatic rifle fire and only had shotguns. They ran into guns stores and grabbed some AR-15's to even things up a bit and after that incident, most police agencies started keeping an AR or similar semi-auto rifle in their squad cars.
Live and learn.

“With todays ammunition, stopping power isnt an issue.”
I take issue with your non-issue. A 9mm (or .380 Magnum as some of us like to refer to it) MUST expand to be effective. A .45 is already a .45 so any expansion is nice but not absolutely necessary.

I hate the takedown lever. It requires force. I have to use an improvised tool - the magazine buttplate - to *force* it into the takedown position.

.357 is more than foreplay.
No it is not 45 cal.
But it is flat shooting and lethal at long range.
I’ve toyed with buying new handgun. Have about talked myself into the 357 mag.

In the Miami shootout, most of the shooters were within 8 feet of each other, IIRC.
Evidently the feds were lousy shots.
