gee I hope not, just bought another
Don't let calibers stoke your insecurities.
The .40 is certainly not dead. Three years ago it took up something like 65% of the U S police market. Now that J Edgar has moved back to the 9mm there will be some movement back to the 9, but the .40 will be not only alive but common for more than a little while yet.
The personality type who determines their next firearm acquisition(s) based on what the "now" caliber the feds and LE uses is the mall ninja preparing for a zombie apocalypse or a "Red Dawn" style invasion.
What! I am not supposed to be preparing for those?
Every agency in this part of the country is switching back to 9mm due to the lower recoil. Officers can't qualify with the snappy .40 S&W. Not only the FBI, but most all federal agencies are switching. Once that economy of scale buying power goes back to 9 mm, it's only a matter of time. Not to mention that the old .40 S&W pistols are due for a trade in, and Glock and others are offering deep discounts . . .
This is an excellent choice, compact size, 29 oz., and the mechanism of the P2022 reduces the recoil to the point that the pistol has quite mild recoil. This is coupled with impressive accuracy and shoot-ability. In 40SW, with a 12 round magazine, this pistol gives the 1911 a serious run for it's money!My Sig 2022 loves .40
