I love my 40.... and my 45...my 9....38 spl.....and the 32.....the 22's...the 25....oh heck, I love em all!
I don't see anything at all wrong with the 40S&W, and actually appreciate the increase in fps over the 45...but, given a choice of only one (and sufficient ammo availability) I would take the 45 hands down, particularly in a 1911 frame.

Re: Thinking about a compact .45 for concealed carry
personally, I prefer guns made in the USA. If the Kimber compact or sub-compact models don't fit the budget, I'd bet the Kahr CW45 would. I carry a Kimber Stainless Compact occassionally, but lately have found myself carrying my recently acquired Kahr CW9. The Kimber has had thousands of rounds down the tube and is totally reliable, the Kahr has only had 365 rounds of various stuff but has been totally flawless. The Kahr is a great IWB carry gun, as long as self defense is the main concern. If you plan to enter a battle field, or feel you may have to fight off a half dozen armed terrorists, the single stack, low round count may not be your thing. I am completely confident in the low round count, with a single spare magazine in case of a mag malfunction.
