It would make sense. Focus on the higher demand ammo and guns, none of which are 40sw.

.40 cal was made for cop-wannabees who could never in their wildest dreams make the cut.

Good. So many times I've seen a great price on a used sig at the store only to see that it's in .40.

But now at the plate matches, 9 just doesn't reliably take them down... .40 to the rescue... |

I could see years of cheap police surplus really hurting new .40 sales also.
Pre-COVID, used .40s were dirt cheap. |

.40S&W is superior to 9mm. Wider, heavier and just as fast.
The only thing 9mm has over .40 is magazine capacity and its slightly easier to shoot fast/accurately. When we are all stuck with 10 round magazines, .40 will rise again. I know I sure as hell wouldn’t carry a 9mm if I was limited to only ten rounds. |

The ballistics on .40 out perform 9mm significantly. A lot of departments had to dumb-down their guns because officers could not qualify with the .40. If you can keep the .40 center mass, I believe you are compromising. I'll take the stopping power of .40 over 9mm. My wife carries a .40 as well and she shoots better than I do half the time. Train like you fight. |

Countless years with the .40. In fact, ones on my hip today. It will be back as all the rage in 10 years due to "poor performance of the 9mm".
I love how the 10mm is the latest and greatest, as it was dead just a few years ago. And the top self-defense rounds for it really aren't much hotter than the .40. It all comes full circle. We're never satisfied. Sig is great at Marketing this need. A new whiz bang every other month you can't live without. But usually just a re-branded P series, 1911, or 320 series. |

All that says is they are pausing, which makes sense. Sales of new 40 cals has to have been way, way down for quite a bit. No reason to keep making more when they can use full production capacity making stuff that is selling. IF things go back to normal, they would probably just streamline the lineup and maybe just make 1 or 2 models.
I'm not a huge .40 fan but I've got plenty of pistols in it... 14 or 15 rounds of .40 vs. 19 or 21 rounds of 9mm in the same space sucks, but it's not like the pistols become junk. I got a metric shit ton of .40 cal when all the department sell-offs made it to the net sellers. ~$180/case at the low point. And I don't have a good explanation for it, but shooting .40 regularly makes me shoot 9mm better. I'd assume it's less recoil anticipation going to the 9mm. And I still think it's a better caliber for pcc, wish there were more options. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: .40 cal was made for cop-wannabees who could never in their wildest dreams make the cut. That's why I got mine.  Actually I got it over a 9mm because I had a 10mm already and can use all the same powder, bullets and reloading shit to load for it. |

Sig has been known to do very stupid things. The rising popularity of the 10 helps the 40.....I run 40 in all the time, no mods. It's a superior subsonic round to 9 that is also available and cheaper.
The arguments against 40 are weird.....it's short and weak but recoils too much.....do you even physics,.bro? |

By the time I left big box retail in October we were selling over 100 new handguns in 9mm per every one sold in .40. When I started tracking it in 2017 we were 53:1, and it only went up from there. It got to the point where people rarely asked for .40, and some of the last handguns to sell during the panic were in .40.
Smart move on Sigs part. |
