So the Feds are going back to 9mm?

[YALE]

That chart rules.

[BlackGT]

No .17 HMR on the chart?

It would be really funny to see them all carry Ruger SRs but I suspect that a bunch of new Glocks are in their future.

Glocks or maybe M&Ps; alot of agencies seem to be going with those as well from what I have read.

Does this means they'll be able to put 150 rounds into a single vehicle instead of just 40-50?

I've seen pistols chambered in 45-70 and 30-06, but that doesn't mean they belong on a pistol caliber chart.

haha I know that I personally carry a TC contender around in 45-70 for funsies

Exactly what I was about to add. .17HMR isn't a pistol caliber.

I friend of mine used to have a Magnum Research revolver in 45-70

Agreed, not originally a pistol caliber. I do have a Single Six in SS. Fantastic shooting gun! I have several Excel Arms. One is a .17HMR rifle.

Same argument could be made about the .22 Long RIFLE and .22 magnum, but they are on the chart... I guess several MFG making pistols chambered for .17hmr is different somehow.

All 3 of the above were created for rifles, but mfg adopted them into pistols as well. It's your chart, so do as you please, but to say that 22mag and 22LR are pistol calibers but not .17hmr or .17machII makes no sense...

Again, neither was .22LR or .22Mag...

.22LR is the most prolific pistol cartridge in existence. Your comparisons are very desperate. I see what your saying. I'm not interested in you picking a fight on this petty pedantic nonsense, though. A cartridge becomes accepted after decades of use in that application, not a couple years.
