[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2630129, member: 2989"] Until the military gets away from ball ammo and can use the same hollowpoints that LEO and civilians have access to, then I don't blame them for possibly wanting to go bigger. I know SF dudes are the exception as they sometimes will use non-ball ammo, but generally speaking the military is limited to ball ammo. For LEO, they have the advantage of being able to use great defensive loads with the latest bullet technology. Because of that, it makes better sense for LEO to go with 9mm as the capacity and improved accuracy with followup shots with the better performing bullets outweighs any "improved" effectiveness by going with a bigger caliber and sacrificing accurate followup shots and capacity.
