40 cal remains popular in USPSA for major power factor scoring etc.
This is the ONLY reason I own any guns in 40.
Short answer, the 9mm had room to grow without exceeding pressure tolerances in a way .45ACP couldn't.I've read that todays technology allows the 9mm to perform like a .45. If this is true, why can't that same technology be used to increase the performance of the .40 and .45? I could get a Glock model 20 and have both power and high capacity but the model 20 is a bit thick to conceal well.
Anyone who shoots 40 is a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?
I still stuck on the meatball gun thing. So many questions. Cooked or raw meatball? Who made it? What's in it? What season is it? Whose house are we in? (Because it could be January and I've have extra layers of clothing on. . . unless we were at my Mimi's and she's got the heat to 84.)
I'm thinking January at my house with an uncooked meatball - I could take that. Maybe.
If you are looking to do a P80 then .40 cal has an upside. Lately there are a lot of LEO trade ins that are stripped and sold as “kits” (you get everything but the frame). If you want to build a Glock using Glock OEM parts this is the most affordable way to do it.
As I recall, Mrs Mountain was fond of the 357 at Cowboy DayAny of those would be better than being a 9mm soyboy. Even my wife thinks shooting 9mm is 'meh'. I guess we should be accepting of all types, including the soft hands, limp wrist crowd; and should be happy that there's a caliber for them.
I like .40 S&W over 9mm and shoot it well. Not sure why...
Why get just one of everything? Peasant.

I use to dig that, but the more I see about it and it's lack of effectiveness at distance, the extra work it requires reloading vs a straight wall case, the less interested I have become.In before the 357 sig nerds?
More likely Taran Butler picked it out for him. Did they mention 9mm major in the movie? Might be counter productive since powerfactor is m*v and major is often attained by heavier bullets and less speed.John Wick chose 9mm Major to slay all kinds of baddies wearing armor in JW3. That's all I need to know about it.
Also I heard .40 turns frogs bi-curious. /thread
OP, good choice on a steel frame .40 Kahr, I'm looking at getting one used as they're under $400.

I am out of .380 ammo, but have a bunch of 9 accumulated over the years, but no 9mm gun.
So Im in the market for something to shoot it with. And 9 is cheaper than .380 most days.
.22, .40 and .45 are covered.
Any suggestions for a nine, Lol?
