The main reason they won't switch from 9mm is the same reason they wouldn't switch from 5.56 to the 6.8, they have way to much in warehouses as part of strategic stockpile!
Considering that it will take about 5 years to phase in the new pistol, that stockpile would not be as big an issue is you might think.
I agree and im sure there is a stockpile of .45acp and that didnt keep them from switching to the 9mm
