[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1377061, member: 108"] Hi, It ebbs and flows. Sometimes there's lots of 9's for sale and not many 40's. I truly think the 40s&w offers the better firepower (capacity and capability) than 9mm or 45acp, but only if you can shoot it as well. I was using 40 for my main carry and defense pistols, but ended up going back to 9mm because: I prefer the lower recoil of 9mm. 9mm is cheaper to shoot and reload. 9mm brass is very strong and can be inspected less carefully. A little bit more capacity. Plenty capable of doing the job. I've never had a 9mm that I [b]hated[/b], but I have had 40s&w pistols that I despised. Good luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
