So this is really a question about weapons commonality and ammo/caliber availability when there might be a need for a common civil defense. In this light... 9mm or 40 s&w?

Based on this clarification, 9mm wins hands down.
As a reloader I can find 9mm components easily, so much abundant free range brass that the small difference in .40 "power" just isn't worth it for me.
If I need more power I'll be looking at something much bigger.
