[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2568852, member: 2989"] My initial response was to say "Switch to Glock or M&P already and stick with the 9mm. Stopping power is a myth with handguns and the differences between modern JHP bullets makes any difference between 9mm and .45 almost nothing." Then I realized that the military can't use modern JHP bullets due to the Hague convention and are stuck with round nose FMJ rounds. With that in mind... the military really should switch back to the .45acp ^_^ Not convinced the 1911 as the platform though. I would think Glock, M&P, FN or even HK would be a better choice... especially if HK releases their new striker fired VP series for the .45acp. [/QUOTE]
