.40 SW... losing interest?

[TennVol]

I picked up a couple of .40 S&W Gen 3 semi autos a few months ago. They are all metal and a joy to shoot and carry. Good compromise between my high cap 9MM's and my .45 ACP 1911's.

I will always keep my Glock 22- it was my first pistol. The reason I switched to my Sig in 9mm is for a suppressor- .40 is too fast to suppress without buying special expensive ammo.
+1 for price on 9mm vs .40.

.40 S&W is only good if you actually shoot it out of S&W firearm....you need Winchester ammo if you shoot a Winchester...

What is a Gen 3 semi-auto?

I prefer the ballistics of .40 vs 9 and would rather shoot .40 over 9 but my wallet likes 9 better.

Sounds like we got a bunch of old ladies in here that need to try some 'manged recoil' ammunition........

I have 3 .40 pistols and couldn't be happier

40sw behaves very differently depending on the grain of bullet. I personally like 180gr. 165 or under is too snappy.

These are .40 S&W Gen 3 S&W semis - Model 410, 4006 & 4046 STW.

If you ladies are complaining about 40, I'd hate to see you with a man's gun. 10mm or above.

I haven't seen much complaints about recoil... but if they are complaining about recoil then I invite them to stay the hell away from 12GA!
