[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3213396, member: 43724"] Yep, the Miami-Dade shootout is what sparked the creation of the .40 S&W round. The FBi went to the 10mm at first, but a lot of agents had problems getting back on target with that caliber. Winchester and S&W created the .40 to solve this and it was quickly adopted by the FBI and shortly after a lot of LEO's made the switch. And yes, there are a few 9mm rounds that can come close to the ballistics of the .40, but they come with a hefty price tag. So while you pay $2-4 a round for that ammo, I pay less than $1 per round for .40 JHP. Paul Harrell did a really good video on this and was one of the bigger influences in my decision to carry a .40 [MEDIA=youtube]LTTDgZZZFa0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
