[QUOTE="lasher, post: 3264849, member: 40522"] but to answer the OP question, after 911 the gubmint and police gobbled up all the 40 cal ammo, wasn't much left for the civilian market. and now the gubmint has gone back to the 9 so all the lady officers can handle the recoil. they'll likely pick another caliber of the day in the near future and change the market place again. personally i like that the 40 cal weapons being traded in are going at good prices, just wish there were more 1911 models in the mix. the 165gr JHP at original load power is a hammer. gun show data is not empirical data, just the same guys every weekend with the same old stuff, showing off their "expertise" to one another and other rubes. nothing against gun shows, but unless there is something i specifically want i'll stay home and web buy.
