I really liked my glock 22 we had to turn in. That pistol shot as slick as snot on a glass door knob.
Yes they do
I have a Hi Point 40 and 250 rounds of ammo as a stash gun. Its one of the dozen or so guns I haven't fire a single time.
I have an unfired Beretta 90-Two in 40S&W that I fondle and talk to every so often. It appears to be satisfied to remain beside its brother, an unfired Beretta 92F in 9MM. Such is life. Thanks.
I understand the idea that as a caliber it falls in between other rounds, but so what? Haven't owned a .40 in years but don't understand the people that just seem to revile it.
40 is my primary pistol caliber,**** the haters!!
It's more an academic thing for me. It's basically an anemic 10mm. The story as I understand it was that the 10MM was causing the FBI to have sub optimal scores in handgun proficiency. So rather than spend the time and effort to teach marksmanship, a new caliber was commissioned with less recoil to compensate and bring scores back in line. It just seems like a poor reason and a bandaid to the problem, rather than a solution. As a caliber, it's slower and arguably less powerful than 9mm hence the nickname .40 Slow and Weak. It's more expensive and, in normal times, not as plentiful in the wild. It doesn't suppress well and is just generally the odd man out. At least that's my beef with it.
Supply and demand. If you can't find a pretty woman at the dance you settle for something else.
