Many thanks for posting this macsak!

… so a long painful loop from “these 9mm’s are getting us killed,” to “must be semiautos -  no more revolvers,” to greater ballistic performance of 10mm, which beat the shit out of pistols and agent’s hands, which led to .40 S&W in Glock 22 - which everyone loved….

….. and then they somehow improved the 9mm projectile / powder to close-in on the ballistics of the .40, but which FBI secretaries could even shoot, and

Viola (yes I know it’s the musical instrument), back home at the comfy 9mm (with a bunch of older agents still saying to themselves - you’re gonna get us killed)….

I guess we’ll know what it all was worth in the next Miami shootout …..

Thanks again!

P.S. This is why I love my S&W 610’s in 10mm Auto, which can quickly reload with polymer moon clips (super stable & reusable) just drop-in.  It’s the best (at least classiest) way to carry 10mm.
