[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1875244, member: 113501"] High performance hollow point ammo has been around for a long time. The genesis of .40 was that the FBI did a study and 10mm came out on top but 10mm handguns were pretty rare, expensive, heavy, with recoil so when a lot of 9mm guns were reworked to .40 Slow&Weak, they were lighter, cheaper, had less recoil and common so lots of agencies adopted it. These days the political situation has people wanting to equip their police forces with less gun instead of more because it's cheaper, they don't want police shootings and probably they think a police shooting with 9mm has less liability potential. I can't disagree too much because the hit ratios in police shootings are pathetic. What I can disagree with is following that trend with my guns because I can handle 10mm. My 9's are backups and carry pieces and I'm experimenting with 357 Sig for a high velocity loading with slightly reduced recoil. [/QUOTE]
