Not only is it a fraud they are playing with your safety. The 40 S&W has a pressure limit of 35,000 PSI, the same as the .357 Magnum. If they are loading their 40 S&W ammo above 35,000 PSI they are selling you ammo that's above the safe limits of the handguns being manufactured for that 35,000 PSI standard. (yes I know the guns are tested for higher pressures but still, it's abusive to the handgun and possible not safe in some guns)
You see a lot of threads all the time on this and other forums asking if it's safe to shoot .38 Special +P ammo in one revolver or another because they barrel isn't marked +P. If everyone is so concerned about that why no concerns about pushing the limits above established SAAMI limits where there is no +P rating?
If 35,000 PSI isn't enough for you in the 40 S&W move up to 37,500 PSI and shoot a 10mm instead.
