Well FBI joins a host of other agencies in realization of the failed .40 S&W experiment - and interesting selected a Glock 17/19 in 9mm as next generation service weapon.
The FBI did specify no finger grooves - and the various gun blogs have all reported that the Glock pistol will be delivered sans finger grooves. Perhaps a new frame version without finger grooves for the rest of us too!

But it does confirm what the rest of us all knew was that larger handgun calibers don't necessarily mean a more lethal handgun. As a long term USPSA competition shooter and reloader, the load will perhaps be more interesting than the selection of what brand of plastic and steel.
Glock seems to get it right - first NSW. Good omen for next gen pistol for .mil - I'd wager on it.
