Army Wants a Harder-Hitting Pistol

....Army Wants a Harder-Hitting Pistol : "One of the major goals of the MHS effort is to adopt a pistol chambered for a more potent round than the current 9mm, weapons officials said. The U.S. military replaced the .45 caliber 1911 pistol with the M9 in 1985 and began using the 9mm NATO round at that time."

Yes they do need something that packs a larger punch for the bad guys. I suspect they may have to go back to the 45APC type of gun in order to get the results they will need for the future of the military.
