my dad and I have had several discussions regarding the .40 SW cartridge...he is a tried and true 9mm man and i have only recently bought a pistol after owning several rifles in various calibers
I admit .40 wasnt initially my first choice--I stumbled upon 'smoking hot deal' on a Glock 22 ( former Detroit PD patrol pistol even) for $275--and initially intended to keep it until i could afford a Kimber .45 1911
several hundred rounds later in various bullet configurations and weights I honestly do not know what the hype about .45 is all about! I bought my 'carry' pistol in .40 ( HK USP Compact) and have no intention of looking back...
