i think the feds asked the question after they hauled off the body bags in Miami

And the 40 turned out to be no better than the 9mm, just more recoil. Seriously sometimes the government does screw up when it comes to weapons. Navy went to all missiles saying that guns were outdated, then had to refit guns to their ships. Army went to 5.56 and is now going to a larger caliber because the 5.56 does not have the penetration against common building materials. Now the feds are doing away with the 40 because it offered no real improvement over the 9.

It is so much fun living in your head for the past year rent Free. I will have to say, it's not very bright up in here. Maybe you could make brighter lights out of some grips. Really though, let me go Man. It will be ok. At first it was kinda fun, but now it's just plain CREEPY. I mean it's been Over a year. Let it go, and move on with your life. This is for your sake, but if not so be it. It's kind of nice knowing that a person is thinking of you ALL the time.

LOL, you've got to be kidding. you compare +p 9 to watered down 40 & 10mm loads. the full power original loads for both 40 & 10 burp and fart 9mm. my only use for 9's is cheap plinking. i'd love to see something like the coonan in 357 mag stay in business and build some semi autos.
