[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1377058, member: 7123"] What is the deal with .40s? There are a couple dozen of them for sale in the classifieds, but very few 9mms. Is everyone else doing what I did 5+ years ago - dumping them to simplify on 9mm and .45 - or what? I prefer 9mm, but I figured that .40 is a good compromise round, and would remain extremely popular, and if anything, get even more popular. Guess I was wrong. I don't care for it, because when that larger, high-pressure round is shoehorned into a 9x19-designed frame, it batters it more, and leaves almost no room for error on bad reloads, *particularly* in guns with largely unsupported 6 oclocks. But I sure thought everyone else would continue to badmouth 9mms as puny girlie-man cartridge like they did 5 and 10 years ago, since so many people have magnumitis (including me at times). Particularly since .357 sig largely went by the wayside, I thought that that vacuum would go mostly to .40. Well, at least it's a bigtime buyer's market if you like .40s.: [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106218[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105957[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105889[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106085[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104643[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106168[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106011[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106058[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104546[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106087[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106032[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105390[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105677[/url] [url]http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104597[/url] Those are the .40s on the first 4 pages of the classifieds. Roughly half that many 9mms for sale. [/QUOTE]
