The literal reason 40SW exists is to be a watered down 10mm.

I said in the United States. Smith & Wesson and Glock are the only two manufacturers domestically producing 40 caliber pistols. The others are foreignly produced.

Takes this from me as I was obsessed with the Glock 23 and 40SW for a long time. Nobody is misperceived. 30+ years of medical data and ballistics testing proved that the 9mm is virtually identical in terminal performance as the 40SW while putting less strain on the gun, the shooter, increasing...

you should care because Glock was the only weapons manufacturer in the United States producing a current line of new models in 40SW. Now nobody is and the only production pistol in 40SW is... still a Glock.

My grandmothers 351C has not had a single light strike with the factory firing pin. In fact I've never heard of any rim fire smith having such an issue. Aren't you worried that that you could split or pierce the rim?

I don't know... Glock inc has discontinued all commercial production of 40SW pistols except the 23 Gen 3. That's a pretty heavy blow.

40SW is a compromise of 10MM and it's never coming back. The 9MM and 10MM are perfect compliments to each other. Anyone still using 40SW who hasn't moved up to 10MM has soft hands.

I have every generation of the Glock 17 and this is my go to. I've found Gen 2 to be the most comfortable and the most nostalgic of all the generations. Although I will admit that the Gen 3 and Gen 4 19 & 26 feel significantly better than the Gen 2. But when it comes to full size Glocks I find...

My home pistol is a Glock 17 Gen 5 with a 33 round stick mag filled with 124 +P HST.

My personal recommendation is to go with their 150gr hard cast wadcutter. The heavier bullet being set back into the casing results in absolutely phenomenal velocity out of the tiny 1.875" 442 barrel (850 FPS). Moving a 150gr 38 special at that speed out of that barrel is about as good as it...

Interesting... looks like the last -10 I saw had its barrel replaced then because yeah the -10s I'm seeing online all have the traditional roll marks

They started marking the bull barrels as +P with the -10. But realistically any bull barrel 38 is +P

You mentioned your time as an explorer, I shared my experience as an explorer. This is how humans have discussions.

Excuse my little tangent but I was a Sheriff's Explorer as a kid. The Explorer Captain was a psycho woman who had a power complex with zero clue on how to talk to us other explorers. One of the explorer sergeants got arrested by our own agency for stealing from his work. Another explorer had...

Your lack of pencil barrels disturbs me

900-950 FPS with a 115gr bullet is a hard pill for me to swallow. I've been a firm believer for some time that 9mm and 357 magnum need at least a 3 inch barrel.

I wipe them off with a rag. The rest is history

My Model 10-9 for $600 OTD I got in Sarasota FL was the best revolver purchase I ever made. I don't care if $600 is considered "high", you just don't see these in this kind of condition in stores anymore. I've put a lot of rounds through it so far!

Personally I don't like running 9mm out of a wheel gun. Dealing with moon clips kinda ruins the fun of a revolver. That 44 mag is going to be a real surprise, be ready. I personally stick with 38 special revolvers and skip 357 magnum entirely to go straight to 44 magnum. Hey, you know what...

I'm going to be blunt. Starting small and working up is a terrible practice unless you're teaching a 6 year old to shoot.
