My eight ball said ask again later.
Would you buy a .40 S&W firearm today?

Duty carried a .40 cal. P229 for 20 years. Never found it "snappy." It was accurate and reliable in all kinds of adverse environmental conditions. My most recent semiauto handgun purchase: A .40 cal. P239, which can be easily converted to .357 Sig or 9mm. Would I buy another? Yup!

It's worth remembering that the .40 S&W was developed because the 9mm of that day wasn't considered to be getting the job done.
Bullet development has come a long way in the past 25 years which has benefited the 9mm a great deal, but certainly not hurt the .40 S&W.

Yeah, it's the price. My neighbor just bought a S&W from a relative for $300. As far as I know they still make brass and bullets for that cartridge.
I said earlier that I did buy a Glock 23, well thats been sold off, couldn't get the dang thing to run right, oh well on the hunt for another .40
