My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.
Yo Homie, That my chainsaw ?
Pati, improbe et vince
The .40 S&W had it's detractors since it was introduced. Own and carry any caliber that flips your trigger.......... Pun intended..

I just used the word "cool" to indicate popularity. And wondered if my perceived decrease in popularity is real or imagined?
I like seeing new or reintroduced cartridges come out. 327 Ruger, er Federal Magnum, never really went anywhere. But I hope folks keep trying.
Yup .40 is very uncool. No one "older & wiser" uses them anymore but all is not lost I will take them off your hands for a modest fee.
I carry a Glock 23 every day. I think the .40 S&W in the 155 & 165 grain bullets are optimal for personal defense. In fact, shot it yesterday at the all-steel challenge hosted by R.W. Swainson. It runs like a top and always will. Not sure I know anyone who is standing up to volunteer to stand down range and catch my hollow points for me. It's all about preference and I get it. Some people love 9mm and there's nothing wrong with it. The only cartridge I was never a big fan of is .380. But all in all, you have to carry what you're comfortable with.
The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Some calibers are very well received by the populous while others are not. A few examples of calibers that "could have been but didn't make it" are the .45 GAP, 357 Sig, .400 Cor-Bon, etc. These calibers had great potential and big companies backing them up but they have now been relegated to a "specialty" market. I don't see this being the case with the .40 S&W.
In some Action Pistol sports (such as USPSA), the .40 S&W is still the undisputed king.
At least 40SW can totally feel different based on the weight of bullet.
If I am shooting 40sw, I prefer 180grain. If lower grain, it has too much snap for me.
