Yep, and after the Miami shootout the FBI spent a ton of tax money researching ammunition and decided that the 10mm was the best thing around. Until they also discovered that some smaller agents couldn't handle the full power 10mm so they down loaded the powder and then S&W cut down the cartridge and the .40 S&W was born. Well except for the hostage rescue teams that kept the .45 acp.

So pardon me if I don't get on board with the FBI's choice of ammunition or firearm. I think I will keep shooting what I shoot best and count on well placed hits over their latest whiz bang research.
