If today's 9mm perform as well as yesterday's .40, then today's .40 must take the head clean off...

a long while ago I got hold of some police issue teflon coated +p. Back then they were impressive.

And therein lies the rub. Any advancements to 9mm also apply to .40SW and .45ACP. The .45ACP round was poo-pooed because of limits in barrier penetration.
I haven’t seen any follow up information, but I’d rather have more capable pistol ammunition and use a long gun for barrier penetration anyway.

There’s no one ammunition for every job.

I agree. There have been/are trade offs- each must find what works best for them for the task at hand- be it individual or agency. Its why there is more than one vendor, make, model of weapon and ammo. Find your own secret sauce.
