I think the Coast Guard is on point for switching to the 40 cal. I wish the USAF would. There were talks of switching to the new S&W M&P 40, but apparently is was all rumors. A lot of after action reports from down range say the 9mm just isn't cutting it. Don't get me wrong, the beretta is a great handgun, and 9mm is a good round, but I think the military should step up the stopping power. On a different note, I just moved, and there are no ranges in close proximity. I used to make an effort to go as much as possible in TX. I did purchase a Sig 229 and slapped on some hogue grips. It is my pride and joy. I also picked up a Saiga 12 shotgun before the price went sky high. Added all the bells and whistles, and it makes for an awesome range day.
