The S&W 4006 comes to mind, but I may be wrong.

The .40 S&W cartridge debuted January 17, 1988 along with the new Smith & Wesson Model 4006 pistol, although it was several months before the pistols were available for purchase. Austrian manufacturer Glock Ges.m.b.H. beat Smith & Wesson to the dealer shelves in 1990, with pistols chambered in .40 S&W (the Glock 22 and 23) which were announced a week before the 4006.

Alright thank you. It only makes sense that the inventor of the cartridge would make the first handgun for it. I don't know where I heard that the Glock came first, or if I ever even heard it. I make stuff up sometimes

The Glock models 22 and 23 were the first pistols available chambered for the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge in 1990.
S&W was Epic pissed. |
