9mm not enough for US Army - RJDSRT - 07-11-2014
Read the story here
Apparently the 9mm is just not doing it for our Army -
"Army weapons officials maintain that combat troops need a more effective pistol and ammunition. But experts from the law-enforcement and competitive shooting worlds argue that tactical pistol ammunition -- no matter the caliber -- is incapable of stopping a determined adversary without multiple shots in most cases"

multiple rounds on target would make a difference!

They could always adopt a pdw type weapon, like a glock 18, tmp, or mac 11. If they wanted to keep a familiar platform they could even adopt the Beretta 93.
