Army to get new pistol

"experts from the law-enforcement and competitive shooting worlds" = idiots who nothing about FMJ effectiveness.

If you're using FMJ, the best you can do is make it 40 caliber or larger, with a big flat point. Remington's stock 40/180 grain UMC flat point does about 1000 fps and will actually rivet to a degree on meeting substantial resistance like hadji heads and ribs. "Shoot the MF'er to the ground" applies regardless of what's in your magazine- or hands.

This 40 cal Glock "frame wear" stuff is utter bullshit... a Talking Point for 9mm advocates and nothing more. I used to like Ernest Langdon. Guess I am over that now.
