But you aren't arguing.
I carry a .454 Casull in a fanny pack. Your fotay don't scare me.
They don't want them because their racks are filled with them...
Which is a sure indicator that it's popularity is waning. If a bunch of folks are trading in 40s in order to get off of the caliber and nobody is buying them, what does that tell you?
The "narrator" is none other than James Yeager - world renowned firearms expert and one of the select few elite operators to earn the Seal Team Six Glock Tactics merit badge. Show some respect!I'm not sure why you posted this or what your expectations were to get out of it. As soon as the narrator stated that he prefers the 9mm over the .40 because he doesn't like high pressure rounds like the .40, I shut him down. The SAMMI specs for both rounds is 35,000 psi. The 9mm +P spec is 38,500, so anyone using this round is using a higher pressure round than the .40. You need to try harder to prove whatever point it is that you are trying to prove.

Lol, he posted it to troll people like you, and you fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

It's not so much that as it is .40 is the most popular LE caliber, or at least it probably still has a big chunk of the market. And every time PDs get money for guns the old guns get dumped onto the secondary market. So there are a ton of .40 S+W handguns in the market because of the thousands of LE trade ins on the market. There's also a fair number of people who buy a .40, then dump it, resulting in a lot of used guns. Doesn't mean it's unpopular but does explain the abundance of used hardware.

I wish I could find it again. I was reading an article a couple months ago that talked about the decline of the 40. Below is a paraphrase from what I can remember of the article. lol don't quote me.
The way the author saw it. 40 came into the world but was too powerful in it's in it's original "10mm short" form so people were intimidated by it. Due to this manu's started downloading their 40's to get closer to 9 and gain back the market they were losing to the 9. At the same time 9 developed better loads +p's, +p+'s and bullet development to reach up to the "stopping power" market the 40 was supposed to be filling. So they met in the middle between original 9 and original 40. But since the 9 now does that higher middle ground role so well. The hope is that the 40 can now reverse course and go back to it's original more powerful role coupling with the better bullets of today and fill that just short of 10mm nitch again.
I personally like this idea. Whether it's true or viable. I dont know, I suppose we'll see.

Can you even get pre-bans for a 40?

40 is for freedom hating homoes who worship the man who signed away the happy switch. [emoji7]The popularity of 9mm is directly correlated to the increase in pajama wearing beta males. 9mm is a vote for Obama
40sw was designed to continue the awesomeness of Ronald Reagan

Yes, you just need a mag that was designed for a different round. Serial answer. Khe khe sten.Can you even get pre-bans for a 40?
That may help explain why there are so many 40s out there but it does not explain why the dealers can't seem to be able to even give them away.
Depends on the 40. It came out in 1990, so it had 4 years for guns and mags to be made for it.
Yes. I had a ton of them for my P229 and I still have a bunch of G22 prebans, too.

Actually Glock 22 preban mags are probably more plentiful due to the supply-demand issues discussed earlier.
Sorry, the only person whose opinion I trust when it comes to identifying pre-ban Glock mags is Glockster30.Yes, you just need a mag that was designed for a different round. Serial answer. Khe khe sten.
