There is nothing wrong with a forty. You do your job it will do its job. It's still a pistol round and will always be anemic compared to a rifle or shotgun, just like all other pistol rounds that don't have magnum after their caliber designation. If you want more power just carry a shotgun or rifle around. Haha

Who the fuck is gonna admit to still carrying a .40? I'll never get another one mainly because they're damn near impossible to sell or trade with.

Back in 2011 I got lucky and my G23 sold VERY quickly on the sandy vagina page...like hours. Sold it for $490 with 3 mags; after that I would watch G22's, Sig, and CZ's sit there for months

I sold a gen 3 27 with all of 50 rnds through it for 400 just to get rid of it unfortunately

This was about two months ago. So fairly recent

Glock is the only brand where a 40 model is worth it imho. The availability of cheap aftermarket 9mm conversion barrels for practice and ease of conversion make the Glock 23 a more desirable gun than a Glock 19 imho.

I carry a p229 in 40. I personally can't figure out what people don't like about it....

Really they are just low power hole punches like any other handgun. I like it because range ammo is only 7.50 a box for me, and the round carries more energy than the 9.

I had a few 40s. A P99 in .40, SIG 226R, G23 G4 FDE, and I've shot them all fairly well, especially the Sig. I don't dislike them, but the resale value is terrible on them, and nearly impossible to sell. I don't buy the notion that they're"snappy". I handle anything in my hands just as well as a 9mm. Just differently. Every caliber has its own characteristics and you treat it individually, and not compare everything to a 9mm.
