Police departments utilize much better ammuntion than the military does. The military needs to replace the M9 with a modern striker fired 9mm like a Glock 17, full size M&P, or the new H&K VP9. Then, issue something 124 grain Gold Dots for combat and relegate the current 124 grain NATO FMJ load to training.

If they're sticking with FMJ ammo, then go back to the .45 in a modern platform.


The Geneva Convention requires FMJ ammo

I would think they would stick to an all steel gun, I am not questioning Glocks, Smiths, ect on quality but will a polymer gun hold up in harsh combat? Up to and including sand and God knows what else getting inside



The Geneva convention does not address munitions, The Hague accord does.



My mistake, thanks for clarifying
