Read the story here

Apparently the 9mm is just not doing it for our Army -
"Army weapons officials maintain that combat troops need a more effective pistol and ammunition. But experts from the law-enforcement and competitive shooting worlds argue that tactical pistol ammunition -- no matter the caliber -- is incapable of stopping a determined adversary without multiple shots in most cases"
"Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."

They could always adopt a pdw type weapon, like a glock 18, tmp, or mac 11. If they wanted to keep a familiar platform they could even adopt the Beretta 93.
