.40 SW... losing interest?

[Mountain Man]

I will travel if there are cases of 40 in this state. I'm finding nothing on shelves or online at all.

This is the exact opposite of what I have found. You can walk into Cabelas or most other large retailers and find cases of 40 cal ammo and no 9mm. I continue to see mounds of 40 ammo available wherever I go.

The Wal-Mart on 44th had some last week. Also in Brighton.

I like the .40 round, but it's not much different (recoil wise) from my .45. If the recoil is the same, I'd just as soon put up with the round that will deliver more Kinetic Energy on the target. Also, with a +2 baseplate for a glock or springfield, you get 15 rounds of .45? How do you say? HELL YES! Ammo price isn't too much different, and so I shoot .45. If someone offered my a .40, I'd take it (if i had the money). And I would never feel undergunned with one. If you want to shoot fast, get a 9mm, if you want power shoot .45, if you want both: get a glock 20c, and shoot 10mm like a real man! hahaha

Can't say that I'm losing interest as I have never had a need for the round. Not saying it's good or bad. It's just that with my 9's & .45's I have never been tempted to go with the tweener.

I've not lost interest with my XD40. In fact, I'm hopefully going to shoot it tomorrow and the 9's staying home since I haven't seen a box of ammo since sometime last year.

Swing into Big R next time you're around one, I've been seeing a fair amount of 40 there at different stores around the state (I travel a lot for work and stop in places to check for ammo i need/want).

[XC700116]

I've consolidated to mostly just 40 S&W for my handgun caliber of choice. I have a sig P238 (380 acp) for a pocket gun, but the rest are all 40.

Shield, G22 and 3.8" XDM compact.

The shield is a bit of a handful, but it's not my ammo burner for the range either.

Big R has been pretty scarce down this way lately, stopped at walmart in woodland of all places to buy a fishing license and they had 3 boxes on the shelf which conveniently was their limit per customer so picked up 3 more boxes.

I sold my sw40ve ( sigma) and went to a .45cal Springfield 1911 best choice i ever made

To each his own ... there is no wrong or right caliber. If you like it, and shoot it well under stress than thats the right number for you. The ballistic debate is for people with more time on their hands than I have. My limited knowledge tells me there isnt enough of a difference with quality ammo to even have a debate. Shoot the caliber you like, in the gun you like and dont let any alledged expert tell you your wrong for your choice. When the SHTF you are the one driving so you need to feel good about it, and it wont matter what some internet gun jockey with all the answers thinks anyway.

Agree 100%. Still get sucked in talking about 9/40/45 once in a while, though!
G19 for duty and personal carry ...... just sayin
