I find it rather amusing that threads like this quote 'FBI research and street shooting data' both of whch are designed to selll you something. The Bureau has a long and storied history of churning out research papers to support whatever weaponry they have decided to use.
The 9mm, 'modernized' or not, is essentially a 38 +P. If you are happy with that, drive on. Having attended a few gunsmoke picnics, autopsies and having shot a couple dozen deer with handguns- I'll go with something capable of shooting through intervening limbs wrecking major skeletal structures.
