Rumours about FBI going back to 9 mm

After being a firm devotee of .45acp for many years, I came to the conclusion about 6 or 7 years ago that the .40S&W was the best compromise for personal defense. I have a Sig 229 in my nightstand and a Kahr with me when I go out- both are in .40. I think the 10mm is ideal, but in too big pistols for comfortable carry, and penetration is too much for self-defense. The .40 is as close as I can get without severe overpenetration, and it is in comfortable to carry sized pistols. Bill
