This. FOR ME I don't see any benefit to .40. In no way shape or form does .40 posses a special quality that I deem better than 9mm. One of my main goals is managing recoil for quick and precise 2nd, 3rd etc shots and the added recoil that .40 posses is a deal breaker. With modern day defense loads, like the this guy stated, devastation wise, I don't see a drastic difference.

Bigger hole than 9mm. Better barrier penetration than 9mm Worse capacity than 9mm Worse recoil than 9mm Cost is ~15% greater than 9mm. With modern holowpoint designs such as the most current Winchester T-Series, B-Series, Federal HTS, or Speer Gold Dots the performance advantage of the 40 is very minor, and IMHO not worth the additional recoil. |

Get a G19 barrel and a few mags and you can run both calibers. Same if you were to buy the G19. Get a G23 barrel and mags and shoot it like you stole it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've got 2 - g27's and a g22. Now, you can always get a used g23 and switch out barrels and get some pmags to shoot 9mm if he wanted...you can pick up a used one pretty reasonable. So, if he wants a .40, the g23 would be great option. This

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. You can't put a G23 barrel in a G19. The barrel hood is too wide. The G23 can be converted to 9mm, but not with a factory barrel, since the hood is to narrow. |
