FBI wants 9mm handguns

Paging HK.

Give the FBI surplus M9s.

And the FBI's guns can be given to the military.

Everybody wins!

And the search through the universe for the perfect damn pistol goes on. But what the heck--it's only taxpayer money we're blowing here.

Had my Browning High Power out quite a bit lately. The design will be 80 years old next year. Maybe--just maybe--the guns are not the problem, hm?

Maybe someone will realize that a good round with actual marksmanship (shot placement) trumps all the gun voodoo in the world. I guess we can all hope and change.

[Honu]

but on other forums 9mm are for wienies and a 45 will knock your bad guy down

sarcasm of course

357 sig split the difference and be in the half and half camp hahahaha


I say it should be a option so a person could carry what they want

Would be nice. Though I fear that idea is just too rational and has too much common sense to take hold.

Within reason. Otherwise, if you allow people to carry personal purchased sidearms you are likely going to end up with some jackasses carrying Hi-points, Dessert Eagles, and some numbskull packing a raging judge because they are just as good, it is what everyone carries in call of battlefield fifteen, and because the latest gun rag said it was the greatest, respectfully.
That said, personally owned supplied sidearms do bring in a other logistics issues to consider.

This is why neither of you will be politicians.

Too smart.

On the other hand, does anyone know if the .mil M9s will be sold to the civvy market or just tossed to some right wing dictatorship overseas for $5 a pop?

[Voodoo_Man]

This is not surprising. We should all be running 9mm for duty as well. It is interesting to see how things come full circle.

[Honu]

agree should have said the current 40 or the 9 they choose so the FBI decides to choose so they have a choice of two more what I meant

Outside of Hostage Rescue and the regional SWAT teams, they should have kept their 3" S&W Model 13's.
