So I just wanted to get people's opinions and personal experience from this.

Does anyone know if 9mm is more available then .40? I'm a gun noob so please excuse the questions if they seem in-experienced. This would be my first handgun purchase and ownership. I wanted to get the 9mm because ammo is cheaper and what i gather more available. I also like the size increase of the .40 over the 9mm plus you only lose 2 rounds going from 9mm to .40.
You can just buy the 40 cal and then purchase the drop in barrel in 9mm everything functions fine, and yes get 9mm mags so you don't risk feed problems being you can put 9mm in 40 cal mags but once again you risk feed problems, but I wished I could buy the barrels directly from S&W for the conversion as opposed to a 3rd party company.
