I am not, in any wise, against the 9mm cartridge. My favorite pistol of all time was a 9mm H&K p9s.
I am against running willy nilly to a standard set by an agenda driven institution like the fbi. If directed, they will change their stance tomorrow, and proclaim the new stance with all the gravitas they can muster.
All of the talk of arming to the least common denominator (women) is pure groundless speculation. The institution has it's aims and goals, and the 9mm is far and away the most common sense round for a diversely staffed institution, if said outfit needs a single cartridge.
None of this means that the 9mm is the best overall cartridge for any other circumstance.
