The great thing about your 40cal glock is for a little less than $100.00 each you can buy conversion barrels that will allow you to also shoot 9s and 357sigs. 3 guns in one. Came in real handy when ammo was hard to find.Vic wrote:I am interested in why people say that. I've seen that sentiment expressed on may forums all over the Internet.Mike from Texas wrote:...

Before the threat of turning this into a 9mm versus .40 S&W versus .45 ACP debate, I like all three calibers, as I noted in my original post. I would have been happy with any of the three. For me PERSONALLY, I wanted a bit more "punch" than the standard 9mm (even though I am fully aware that a modern JHP 9mm cartridge will deliver effectively), but more capacity at the same weight as a .45 ACP. The .40 S&W is a "compromise cartridge", but that's precisely what I was looking for. That is what led me to choose the .40 S&W. The recoil does not bother me. I have most of my handgun experience with the FEG PA-63, a Dan Wesson .44 Magnum, and my father's off-duty gun which is a J-frame S&W Airweight with .38+P. Needless to say, I am more used to recoil than not. I think the Glock 23's recoil will feel like a gentle tap to me, given what I am used to!
I'd still be interested in all opinions on why others are not a fan of the .40 S&W cartridge.
