The Navy Seals would seem to think so, because a 9mm cartridge is what they use. Say the word and I'll back that up.

The SEALs use a 9mm because that's what they're told to use. I believe it's some variant of the SIG p226, but I'm not 100% certain on that one. The military supply chain is loooooong and procuring a new round when you've got X,000,000 rounds of 9mm stocked up is expensive, and not something that the titan of bureaucracy that is the military is likely to do.
The reason the Coast Guard was able to switch to Sigs in .40 S&W is because they were sitting on top of a big fat pile of Homeland Security bucks, and wanted to get more in line with the "law enforcement" image.
