Re: Is the .40 dead?

It isn't dead, but it is less popular. I don't see it going away anytime soon.

And I agree that not all gun types shoot it very well. Some guns do okay, just a little more recoil. Some guns seem to make the recoil real rough. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that most of the guns were just 9mm pistols converted to 40. I am not sure if any were built specifically for 40 S&W.

Also, the better performance of 9mm +P HP loads these days has more people going back to 9mm or up to 45.
