Might as well put in my two cents....
No it's not dead or dying. It shows some improvement over the 9mm in not requiring follow up shots. It's a PD round and whatever they come up with next won't totally replace it. I think most people that have them like them. The popularity DID fade some back in favor of the 9mm but that doesn't say it's not being used, a lot. I've noticed that when I collect range brass, there isn't QUITE as much .40 Cal. in there. It's a little less popular than the .45 ACP.
I agree that the "Is the .40 dying out" sounds like a title for a magazine article. Next month another article will read, "The .40 is here to stay!"
