Last month most folks would not have expected the crisis in Egypt. Oil may become much more expensive impacting the US economy. World and natural events precipitate negative changes that create breakdowns in security, supplies and freedoms we take for granted. 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?

This is really easy.....
You buy the .40 and then buy the 9mm barrel for $65. Now you have one gun that shoots whatever ammo you can pick up from all the dead zombies you find while searching for a few gallons of fuel to run your generator for power to send out your daily radio broadcast asking 'Is anyone out there?'
And while you're at it, pick up a .357 barrel too. You don't even need new magazines!
But you must buy the .40 to convert. You can't put a .40 barrel on a 9mm, but you can put a 9mm barrel on a .40!
