[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1880145, member: 2736"] Interesting. The 40 came about because it out performed the 9 mm. It was first introduced as the 10 mm but it became evident that many people could not handle the 10 with full house loads, so the common practice was to down load it. Then S&W decided to cut it down and produce a more manageable loading so they called it the 40 S&W. it became the standard police hand gun and has a good reputation for performance. I don't own a 40 S&W because I have a 10 mm and a 9 mm, the 9 mm was used primarily used for CHL qualifying because it was so easy for my wife to handle. The more people that get into concealed licence carry the more people there are that cant handle recoil. So the 9 mm and the 380 have become very popular with this crowd making ammo sales soar in these cartridges. Nothing wrong with the 40 and it will be around for a long time because it is a good compromise between handling and power. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
