[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2630648, member: 5412"] The MHS will be an open-caliber competition that will evaluate larger rounds such as .357 Sig, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. [B]The FBI and several major police departments recently decided to return to using the 9mm round after finding that .40 caliber ammunition was causing excessive wear on its service pistols.[/B] The heavier bullet and greater recoil over time resulted in frame damage to well respected makes such as Glock and Beretta, according to Ernest Langdon, a shooting instructor and respected competitive pistol shooter who has worked for gun makers such as Beretta, Smith & Wesson, and Sig Sauer. Isn't that freeking amazing. They decided to go with the 9mm because their budgets were being effected, not because it was the superior round. Dammed the officer than had to carry a pistol to protect his life or some others. Lets worry about the budget. [/QUOTE]
