Don't get me wrong, I do like the .380 as well as most of the guns they are chambered for and I have carried them both past and present. However, I realize their limitations and I have respect for all research and testing by our military & law enforcement who've came to the conclusion that the .380acp was not "enough" for them.
Sometimes department weapons policy is influenced by, for example, the lower cost and higher variety of choices to be had in 9mm ammo and guns compared to .380 ACP.
Politics, and ignorance about firearms and ammo by administrators can come into play as well.
