The .40 ammo order was not for DOJ, but DHS. While in a rifle class with an FBI FI, we discussed their sidearms a bit. I did not get the impression that he was impressed with their gear and training, but he had been a real cop before and so he had a clue.

He generally recommended the authorized option (personal weapon, approved) of a G21. (Dunno if the 30 is approved; didn't think to ask.) The .45ACP is a lot easier to shoot. He had a Glock in .40, and it was not adequately reliable IMHO. It malfed a few times, as their reputation has been (a friend's agency is dealing with that now; several have been hit with crummy performance from their .40s). I suspect Glock will give them one heck of a deal, probably trading one for one on pistols and mags. The gear would not change, of course.

Remember that the purported ammo problems of the Miami shootout are almost 30 years ago, and we have gone through a lot of performance improvement in the generations of ammo since.
