I plan on buying a S&W 4053 to be my recently acquired 4006's little brother.
Which .40 to buy??

Many, many thanks to all who commented. It's been a really big help. Too big, in fact.
Here's what I'm doing: To keep out-of-pocket to a minimum I'm trading in a Walther P99compact that I bought to carry and never carried as it got replaced by a CS9, 4513TSW and a Beretta PX4 compact Langdon did work on....and I'm getting a Beretta PX4compact in .40.
Then, and here's where it's probably gonna cost me, I'm getting one of those 4006TSW CHPs. I'll probably be selling a Model 10 which I never take out of the safe as I've got a shooter-grade 38/44 and a Model 14 & 15 for regular size .38's.
I'm not really in the market for a smaller carry-size Shorty 40 and I think the 4006 will fit the bill for a regular sized S&W. So, anyone want to buy a nice 10-6? (And what are they going for these days?)
Again thanks for the advice. I was really avoiding .40, but as long as I have a bunch of guns in 38S&W, how could I not have a couple in .40S&W? (And that'll probably be my rationalization of the decade for me.)

You will be happy with the 4006 TSW CHP.
I see you've already made up your mind Redcoat, but I'll add my 2cents...
I own a full-size PX4 in .40, and I personally don't recommend them to anybody. The cheap plastic slide stop lever broke on mine, while it was in the factory case during a two-hour drive up North. Worked fine before the drive, broken when I got to the cabin. I used to love my PX4 but completely lost faith in it after that.
The 4006TSW CHP would be my top recommendation, very solid construction, and while they are abundant at the moment, they will become scarce on the market eventually. The integral rail is a sought-after feature, and the all-steel frame will stand up to the abuse of the .40 much better than alloy.
If you can ever find a 4040PD for sale, I would highly recommend picking one up. It's my personal favorite .40 gun for CC, and the proprietary magazines are still for sale around the net, factory new and at reasonable prices.
