From an ammo and personal ownership side, it is still in fad.
From a resale standpoint, they are boat anchors, always have always been.
Post a 9, 40 & 45, same mfg, same full everything etc. You will be sitting on the 40 sometimes long after the 9 & 45 have been sold. When i did a stint in a lgs in noco, they would not take any 40's on trade in unless it was pawn shop super low ball priced. Don't know why or care, it is a caliber while nice for pd and comp is not something i would pick up, with the intent of turning or trading down the road.
Never did like the 40. I always had 9 & 45. I did like the 45 Gap but it just never caught on.
I get .357 SIG issued to me for work. I like it but I am very happy I don't have to pay for it. Given that my issued pistol shoots .357 SIG, I've picked up barrels in .40 S&W for any pistol I have. Carry either caliber with just a barrel swap.
Works for me, but I am definitely not cool [LOL]
Be safe.
Not cool but STONE COLD, BABY. STONE........COLDQuote:

My 2 cents, when LEO's stop carrying it.. I'll get rid of it. Until then, I'll have one in .40.
And I agree with the 9 and .45 philosophy...

I can just swap a barrel on most manufacturers to shot 357 Sig.
.40 is crap. PM me a price of the stuff you want to sell.
