Quote HistoryQuoted: .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. If you're limited to only ten rounds, why not carry a 45 instead of a 40? |

It’s not any harder to shoot than 9mm. Anyone who says it has too much recoil to be accurate probably also limp-wrists Glocks

No there is not. You can even run 9 in the 40 mags. At the range i have done it without any issues. No way i carry that way. |

Just a business choice that may be temporary. Many companies are cutting back on SKU's to focus on the very best sellers. Same thing is happening at Springfield. Has nothing to do with 40 as a cartridge, everything to do with sales overall.

I keep a couple of police trade-in G22s around because
1) I can easily convert them to 9mm or 357 Sig with a barrel change. All of these guns can easily shoot at least 3 calibers with zero effort 2) since I reload 10mm I already have powder and projectiles to load them 3) .40S&W isn't really harder to shoot than 9mm in a practical sense. Yeah you might have .1 sec longer splits but thankfully the guy mugging you doesn't;t have a timer. If you can't handle the 40 maybe you should go to the gym and work on your wrists a bit? Maybe your boyfriend could spot you for a few curls or something. 4) They were cheap as dirt . . . AIM had them for $250 once. Pretty much brand new Glocks! Please folks - stop buying .40 guns so I can buy them up for cheap! Plus, what the ongoing shortage is showing me is that diversification of calibers is a plus. If I can't find 9mm, I can find .40 . . . or 10mm . . .or .45ACP . . . or .380 . . . or whatever. People who only have one pistol caliber are a mystery to me - if a round fits into an autoloader I probably have something to make it go bang. I feel the same for rifles. |

A compromise round created based on flawed premises. It isn't a bad caliber but it's outlived it's purpose. I don't plan on owning any .40's except for competition use and a SHTF gun. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The arguments against 40 are weird.....it's short and weak but recoils too much.....do you even physics,.bro? The increase in recoil/subsequent loss of accuracy in followup shots and the loss of magazine capacity are not commensurate with the terminal advantage gained over 9mm para, which is minuscule. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It'll be popular again when the commies ban the 11th round... Will it though? The slim/micro 9mm pistols have gained heavily in popularity. Many on here even carry the P365, G48 or G43. People already are self selecting 10 round magazines as standard carry now. |

I never made the switch to the .40. It wasn't because of the recoil etc. It was because at the time I saw more problems with the .40 caliber guns. Decent caliber, but it is like every other pistol round. In one year, and it seems like a short amount of time to me, I saw three one shot stops with .22lr, and another dude that took seven .40 rounds standing against a car smoking a cigarette. Weird shit... shot placement counts.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Stopping power. That idea has been debunked for years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It'll be popular again when the commies ban the 11th round... 40SW helped gain popularity with the AWB of 94 without any doubt. Why carry a midsize gun that holds 10 rounds of 9mm when you can carry 10 rds of something with more power like a 40? In that scenario 40 makes the most sense. Same with 10mm. Carrry to the maximum power you can put in magazine. 460 Rowland. 10mm. Etc. |
