Why?

That round/weapon hasn't made a very good impression on guys who shoot other people for a living. My sense is that they rank it right down there with .22mag. They get a lot of attention because the armor piercing round penetrates 45 layers of kevlar, but then what? Nobody can buy or possess a/p rounds except them, and police.

The story made it sound like they use a browning 9mm now

Sorry, my spell checker can't tell the difference between "Browning" and "Beretta."

Maybe it's the English accent or something.
