+1, I had 9s and 45s before the 40 came out, didn't see any advantage to adding another caliber.
I guess it's an advantage if you have a bunch of extra money weighing you down.

Mythical? Recoilless?I had owned a shotgun and ruger 10/22 in the past but only purchased a handgun a few years ago. I had been helping someone I knew out and keeping an eye on a large building. Long story short I heard something and with the area the building was in being industrial and the fact that it had been broken in to before I went out with my shotgun and a flashlight to see what was going on. I figured really quickly that was not going to be a viable option and when taxes came in my wife and I went and started looking at some handguns.
The .40 was readily available and felt good when we shot it. Some recoil but nothing unbearable and my wifes words for the 9mm was "it felt wimpy" so we ended up with a M&P 40. I am glad for it since I can drop in a factory 9mm or 357sig if I want and when someone did break into the building it was a seamless extension of my body, it literally felt like it was molded in my hand. I now have a M&P 45 as well and I have no problem with it's recoil either but still prefer to carry the .40 on me.
I can understand that some people prefer the mythical round over it or the recoiless round but for me it's the best of both worlds.

I'm sensing a little butt hurt.....Mythical, the .45 kills every bad guy in one shot and he flys backwards through the air when it hits.
Recoiless, the 9mm that has so little recoil that you can shoot many rounds with minimal adjustment dropping your target where it stands instantly.
The gang bangers in L-Town have been shooting each other with .40's lately. Probably they like it because of the name association with some of their favorite beverages.
