9mm coming

[Unregistered]

Just informed by our LT that the new calibre of pistol will be 9mm and only Glocks, H&K, Sig and Smith will be only authorized choices. Transition will be 18 months and you will NOT be grandfathered in.

At least you guys have a choice of some good guns... Up here in Hillsborough we are forced to carry issued FNH FNS-9's... So far, not many of us like them... We went from Glock 22's (40 Cal) back to 9's...

Not gonna happen. Your Lt is an ass-hat.

This was actually mentioned in training the other day, but unoffically. I can not confirm or deny!

Ive been carrying my primary snd backup for 14 years. If no grandfathered guns tgen they can purchase me 2 new ones.

Recent FBI study found 9mm made agents significantly more accurate and faster. The 9mm shells also move faster than 45s, meaning they produce a more forceful stopping power than 45s (despite beliefs to the contrary). That's why FBI is mandating 9mm as their only approved handgun. Hey, if it will make me a better shot and it will better take down the bad guy if I have to use it, I'll switch.

Sadly mistaken with bad info then. Unless the agency purchases the guns, they can not mandate you to make this purchase.

Yes, I heard it too. Are they going to use the saved money to actually get us a facility to shoot at? No, that wouldn't get votes.
