I received an email shortly after I posted this that the gun had been sold moments before I asked them to hold if for me.

Part of my motivation with the .40 I didn't hit on was the SHTF situation where ammo becomes like gold (and very scarce) and the talk of all the .40 purchased by the DHS. Maybe I watched too many movies where the survivors happened upon a stash of stockpiled ammo. I thought having a 9mm and .40 would cover most bases.

In the end though, this will be my daily carry and I want to be confident and well practiced with it and the .40 sounds less than ideal for my current circumstances. I can see buying a full sized .40 down the road to satisfy my SHTF scenario.

You folks have an incredible amount of knowledge and I am very thankful for your time and feedback.
