          It delivers the most energy of the 3 main cartridges.

              Which doesn't mean jack if they don't hit their target...
              They want higher capacity to give them a greater chance of accuracy by volume.

                I'll give you that. .40 is harder to shoot well than any of the other common stuff

                  So does this mean another shortage of 9mm when the fbi orders 300 billion rounds?
                  I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

                      Pretty sure the amount of energy delivered is a concrete mathematical equation....

                            Bullet technology is so good, the .40/9mm debate is goofy. They'll get more people to shoot better with 9mm than they'll lose gunfights for lack of stopping power (obligatory Miami shoot out warning goes here), so it's an easy enough choice. Maybe Sig will finally sell some 2022's, lol.

                              lol, isn't that true for any bullet? A 105mm howitzer doesn't mean shit if it doesn't hit it's target.

                              And yes it's a concrete equation.
